Improving the safety effect of speed camera programs through innovations: Evidence from the French experience
This study investigates the effect of the French Automated Speed Enforcement Program (ASEP) on casualties involving different types of road users. Interrupted time-series analyses were conducted to estimate the effect of the ASEP. Overall, the ASEP was associated with a decrease of 19.7% in traffic fatalities and crashes with injuries. Significant diminutions were observed for passenger vehicles/light SUVs (- 25.4%), motorcyclists (- 39.0%), and trucks (- 15.7%). Adding red light cameras and devices taking pictures of both ends of the vehicle produced, in some cases, additional gains among specific categories of road users. Traffic fatalities, crashes with injuries and the severity of crashes significantly declined following the introduction of the ASEP in November 2003. ASEPs are an effective strategy to prevent traffic casualties. Innovations such as red light cameras and devices taking pictures of both ends of the vehicle can improve an ASEP.
