Running red lights

Red light running is high-risk behaviour. Those involved in the resulting side-impact crashes are likely to be seriously injured or killed. In most instances, drivers who run red lights are also speeding – further increasing the risk. In a 24-hour period in November 2005, road sensors indicated that at 11 Darwin intersections, as many as 2613 vehicles were potential red light runners.

What should change

  • Combined red light and speed cameras, which are widely used in the rest of Australia, should be installed at priority intersections in Darwin. The penalties for failing to obey red and yellow lights should be doubled.
