Missouri police chiefs and advocates for safe driving from across the Show-Me State have joined with survivors of red light running crashes to create the nonpartisan coalition MISSOURI FAMILIES FOR SAFER ROADS. Our coalition strongly believes that red light cameras are proven traffic safety enforcement tools that raise motorist awareness, reduce red light running crashes and save countless lives. We are committed to boosting awareness of and educating Missourians about the effectiveness of red light cameras. We invite you to join and support our coalition online, and to share your own stories of red light runner violations and the aftermath. And please help us spread the word: RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE WORKING. A PERSONAL STORY OF RED LIGHT RUNNING
I am a media consultant representing many clients including American Traffic Solutions, one of the nation’s leading red light camera companies. I also spent nearly a quarter century as a journalist for The Associated Press, telling stories about real people for national and international audiences. Now I’m telling my own real life story - of being injured in a crash with a red light runner. This personal experience is why I believe in red light cameras. It is why I am so passionate about volunteering my own time and contributing my own resources to the new statewide traffic safety coalition, Missouri Families for Safer Roads. Like so many victims of red light runners, my story begins on a perfectly ordinary day on a perfectly ordinary Missouri street. It was a warm Saturday morning during Memorial Day weekend. I had done some shopping and had a green light to proceed east across busy Providence Road, a major north-south route through downtown Columbia, Missouri.
