8 San Francisco Red Light Running Collision Trends Figure illustrates the trend in red light running injury collisions using California Vehicle Code Section (A), failure by a motorist to obey traffic signals. Red light running collisions have shown a general decrease since the early 99 s, with recording the second lowest annual total in ten years. Signal hardware improvements funded by the City s transportation sales tax have helped reduce these types of collisions, most notably in the South of Market area. This drop coincides with the city s deployment of red light photo enforcement starting in the late 99 s. Other global factors such as education, motor vehicle design, or demographic changes could also be contributing to these trends.
