Red Light running Pilot Program

The data that was collected by the city's red light running system is summarized in the following report to the Kansas Legislature (See chapter 6 for conclusions and recommendations):

Each year there are about 6,000 accidents in the city; nearly 400 typically are related to drivers running red lights.

The Kansas Department of Transportation set up a pilot program to test the effectiveness of different red light running technologies.

During the pilot program, Overland Park installed two red light running cameras: one at 119th Street and Hawthorne Plaza and another at 95th Street and Quivira Road.

These red light running systems were used to collect data only; no citations or warnings were sent to violators. Basic violation data that was collected included date, time, number of seconds the light was red, speed and license plate numbers.
