| | Making Intersections Safer: A Toolbox of Engineering Countermeasures to Reduce Red-Light Running (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | The law as stated in the UVC is considered a permissive yellow law, meaning that the driver can enter the intersection during the entire yellow interval and be in the intersection during the red indication as long as he/she entered the intersection during the yellow interval. |
 | | A two-hour traditional enforcement effort at a highvolume intersection in Raleigh, NC resulted in 36 tickets, which is a rate of 18 violations per hour or an average of one violation about every 3.5 minutes (min.) (5). |
 | | Separate models were developed for the "mainline as entering street" and the "cross-street as entering street." Therefore, a crash where the violating vehicle entered the intersection from the lower-volume road was modeled using "cross-street as entering street" and the mainline road is considered the crossing street. |
