FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY JUNE 25, 2001 The report reveals that intersections selected for the computerized, law-enforcement devices were selected because the intersections had extremely short yellow lights and high traffic volume, not because the intersections had high accident rates. Public records confirmed that none of the intersections selected were among the top intersections in the city with high accident rates. "Our study of public records and more than 5,000 documents provided to us in discovery indicates that the red light camera program in San Diego actually forces people to run red lights in order to generate more revenue for the city and Lockheed Martin IMS, the private company that operates the program. The majority of the city's photo-enforcement computers were installed at intersections with yellow light times that were shorter than 4.0 seconds, according to the report. More than half of the devices were installed at intersections with only a 3.0 second yellow light, resulting in substantial, potential revenues for the operator of the program, the report said.
