Denver must prove red-light cameras improve safety

Cities that install red-light cameras like to claim they’re doing it “for safety”. But while you hear lots about the money, you almost never see any real safety statistics. Now Denver’s Auditor’s Office has ruled the city must prove red-light cameras improve safety or stop the program.

It’s all about honesty. If you’re doing it to raise money, just say so.
