AI Summary

  • Red-light running caused 1,879 crashes from 2015 to 2020, resulting in significant deaths and injuries at signalized intersections.

  • Hawaii is one of 26 states without automated traffic enforcement on public roads; federal data shows automated enforcement reduces enforcement costs, officer danger, and increases driver awareness of traffic law consequences.

  • Currently, five intersections in urban Honolulu are actively issuing citations through automated enforcement, with 946 citations issued as of February 2023, and five additional sites were selected for the program.

  • Department of Transportation and Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu are encouraged to expand the Red-Light Safety Program to Windward, Leeward, and Central Oahu.

  • Kaahumanu Street and Moanalua Road and Kaonohi Street and Moanalua Road are recommended for consideration in the expansion of the Red-Light Safety Program.
