READ NOWCannington Police Station Senior Sergeant Gavin Radice said cameras could be the solution to intersection crashes.
‘Evidence will show that there is a decrease in reported crashes at intersections with a red light (speed camera) because drivers are being more cautious, knowing that they will receive a fine through the post if they get flashed,’ he said.
‘It is not feasible to have these types of cameras at every intersection, so drivers need to have the same attitude when entering any intersection.’
The intersection crash statistics show the combined cost of crash damage between the top five intersection amounted to $24,134,499.
Most crashes recorded were rear end collisions and during wet weather.
