Biggest Weekend For Red Light Runners

Written by Traffic Specialist Joel Hillan

More cars are going to be on the roads this Memorial Day weekend and a new study says they are more likely to engage in risky behavior when going through intersections.

The National Coalition for Safer Roads says people run red lights on Memorial Day weekend more than any other weekend and the numbers are staggering!

Last year there were more than 2.3 million drivers in 18 states who ran red lights. 27% more than any other holiday.
