Although this report was initially intended to observe all eight intersections equipped with Red Light Cameras in Hamilton, it was later decided to evaluate them on an individual basis. For this Evaluation Report, the intersection of Upper Sherman and Queensdale was chosen. The main concern is the southbound PM period, as at this time the volumes on Upper Sherman are high, and many pedestrians are returning home from school.
There were four main objectives in this study. .
1. To observe how motorists react to a light changing red.
2. Why people are running the light.
3. Has there been a reduction in cross-section (right angled) accidents.
4. To observe the environmental aspects of the intersection (speed ect).
Objective 1: How do motorists react to the Light Changing Red?.
During the month of November, this intersection was observed at different time periods. The Southbound direction traveling straight through the intersection was the most critical, and had the most volume. For this Study the Southbound PM Peak Time was observed for Straight through traffic. When a motorist is traveling along and the light changes amber the driver has three choices. .
1. STOP, and queue at the red, awaiting for the next cycle.
2. SPEED UP, and clear the intersection on amber.
3. RUN THE RED and risk the consequences.
Concluding from the Red Light Behavior Study the following were observed.
52% of the motorist observed facing the amber, slowed down and stopped for red light.
40% of the motorist observed facing the amber, speed up to clear on amber light.
7% of the motorist observed facing the amber, Stopped Suddenly and queued for the red light.
1% of the motorist observed facing the amber, decided to run the red, on the all red phase.
Although more than half of the motorist stopped for the red light, still 41% risked running amber or all red. This 41% of risky drives could result in accidents. The human brain perceives, receives and then reacts.
