According to a recent Sun Sentinel article on red light cameras, Pembroke Pines has one of the least amounts of red light camera citations per day in South Florida. In Broward County, the intersection with the highest number of tickets per day is eastbound West Sunrise Blvd and NW 15th Ave in Fort Lauderdale, with 20 red light citations each day. Compare that with the Pembroke Pines intersection of SW 136th Ave and Pine Boulevard which has, on average, less than one ticket per day.
On average, 856 people are issued red light camera citations every day in South Florida. Around 339,000 tickets have been issued in South Florida as a result of red light cameras.
Most red light camera tickets, according to the Sun Sentinel article, take place on Friday in Broward County, and on Saturday in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties. Fort Lauderdale, Aventura, and Coral Gables issue the most citations per intersection every day.
As Coral Springs accident lawyers, we hope red light cameras are effective in helping to reduce the number of car accidents in Florida's roads. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, disregarding a traffic signal led to 56 traffic fatalities and 5,190 injuries in Florida in 2009. Driving over the stated speed limit led to 106 deaths and 650 injuries that same year.
