Township of Union Activates New Level of Road Safety in Union Center
with Start of Red-Light Camera Program
Red-Light Safety Cameras have been activated in Union Center Morris and Vauxhall intersection in December 2011 ushering in a new level of protection for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. After public education and 30-day warning phase accompany the start of the program, giving drivers an opportunity to become familiar
with the system, and during which fines were not issued but photographs were taken and warning notices were mailed to the vehicle’s registered owner.
Township of Union is one of almost 40 localities in New Jersey saying yes to red-light safety camera programs, and for good reason. Over the past decade, on average, red-light runners have caused 885 fatalities and 165,000 injuries annually in the U.S. Two-thirds of the time, the person who dies is someone other than the red-light runner. National and international research shows cameras reduce red-light running violations and the life threatening collisions that can result when vehicles collide in the middle of an intersection. In 2011 an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study found Red-Light Safety Cameras saved more than 150 lives in 14 of the country’s largest cities.
