Going through a red light is a serious infringement because it is dangerous, especially if the maneuver is carried out at particularly busy intersections. You cannot drive a car without knowing the fundamental rules that guarantee safe circulation on the roads.
Whoever occupies an intersection regulated by traffic lights, when the red light goes off, risks causing serious accidents. The consequence of non-compliance with the rules has been seen over the past few years when many motorists they even lost their lives.
In October, for example, 180 fines were reported at the Santa Caterina traffic light, 30 more than in September, the data is not encouraging. According to the mayor of Santa Caterina, this is a worrying figure because it indicates that road safety is really at risk. Few follow the rules.
Traffic lights, speed bumps and surveillance systems are not enough to keep motorists at bay
Apparently the traffic lights, speed bumps and detection systems positioned at intersections are not very efficient. Few are afraid of these surveillance systems that detect traffic violations, reason why most people do not respect the red light and beyond.
On the Statale 13 Pontebbana for examplesystems have been installed aimed at catching those who run a red light red-handed and does not respect the traffic light. At least for now, this experimentation is not going in the best way, nothing is going as expected or hoped. Despite this, the experimentation will continue for a year and it will be subject to evaluations following which it will be possible to make decisions about the future.
How the traffic light control system works
The results will then be evaluated by the municipal administration, taking into account the improvements made to traffic. This system has been designed to operate only after the red light has come on, if the vehicle passes the stop line, the yarn is digitally recorded, then memorized as a non-editable compressed file, in such a way as to be able to view the event and reconstruct the dynamics.
Of course, there are penalties for those who pass through a red light, while no consequences of any kind are foreseen for those who cross the line with the yellow traffic light.
