NEW YORK (NBC News) The number of people killed by drivers running red lights has hit a 10-year high according to a new study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
The study also shows more than two people die every day because drivers ignore red lights.
AAA also found that red-light running makes up 28 percent of fatal crashes at intersections equipped with a traffic signal.
Experts think that red light cameras could help curb the number of crashes, but overall, they’re reminding drivers that running a red light is not just risky, it’s reckless.
