The City of Duncanville has contracted with the Redflex Traffic Systems to install Red-Light Photo enforcement camera systems at select intersections. These have been installed in an effort to reduce traffic crashes, and to eliminate the resulting injuries, fatalities, and loss of property. Nationwide, red light running causes approximately 260,000 crashes each year of which 750 are fatalities. The annual economic impact of crashes is estimated at $7 billion in medical costs, time off work, insurance hikes, and property damage. On June 5 th, the City of Duncanville had a fatality crash at the intersection of S. Cockrell Hill Rd. and Hwy 67 service road as a result of a red-light violation.
On June 15 th, 2006 four red light camera systems became operational. There have been approximately 2,400 red-light violations captured from June 15 th to August 8, 2006…the first 30 days being a warning period. Since July 15 th, the Red Light Traffic enforcement program has captured approximately 1,000 violations that have resulted in civil citations. The revenues generated from the system will be utilized for traffic and transportation safety infrastructure improvements within the city.
