REQUEST CITIZENS TO<br />
STOP AT RED LIGHTS<br />
Greenwood Village uses red light<br />
cameras in high-traffic locations to<br />
create safer roadways for motorists and<br />
pedestrians and prevent injuries. The<br />
red light cameras were placed by the<br />
Village in congested areas based on<br />
accident history, complaints of<br />
aggressive driving, traffic signal<br />
violations, and where a police<br />
officer/vehicle could not patrol safely<br />
without blocking traffic or a sidewalk.<br />
In Greenwood Village, there are four<br />
red light cameras at the intersections<br />
of:<br />
• Belleview Avenue and Quebec<br />
Street;<br />
• Orchard Road and Quebec Street;<br />
• Belleview Avenue and Dayton<br />
Street; and<br />
• Arapahoe Road and Yosemite<br />
Street.<br />
What you might not know is how<br />
effective the red light cameras are at<br />
changing drivers’ habits and keeping<br />
us all safer:<br />
• 93% of drivers who get one ticket<br />
do not get another one<br />
• 99% have not received more than<br />
two tickets<br />
• Accidents at the Orchard Road and<br />
Quebec Street intersection have<br />
decreased 60% over three years<br />
