Red light technology geared to stop collisions

A UW-Madison safety expert said new techonology holds promise of reducing red light violations and the danger they cause.

The technology is geared for situations, similar to Rep. Fred Clark’s red light running earlier this month. Clark (D-Baraboo) was cited for a red light violation after his SUV entered a Madison intersection and slammed into a bicyclist and significantly injured him. The collision was captured by a Madison metro bus on-board camera, with the tape first shown on WKOW-TV Friday.
