Which U.S. Cities Have The Most Fatal Red-Light Crashes?

Between 2004 and 2013, 7,799 people died in car crashes that involved driver running red lights. In 2013 alone, 697 died and an estimated 127,000 were injured in red-light running crashes.

That’s according to data from the National Coalition for Safer Roads, which is in the middle of its Stop on Red Week to raise awareness about the dangers of running red lights.

It also released on Wednesday an interactive map showing red-light running deaths across the country from 2004-2013. The map lets you search for your city and state to see how many deaths have occurred in that area.

What are the top cities for number of fatalities during those 10 years?

Here’s the top 10:

1. Houston: 181 deaths
2. Phoenix: 127 deaths
3. Los Angeles: 125 deaths
4. Las Vegas: 105 deaths
5. Chicago: 99 deaths
6. Miami: 82 deaths
7. Dallas: 71 deaths
8. Philadelphia: 63 deaths
9. Tucson: 61 deaths
10. Denver: 60 deaths

The coalition also released data from 2014 gathered from 2,665 red-light cameras across the country to understand nationwide trends, and some of the findings about red-light-running habits may surprise you:

• 3.7 million drivers ran a red-light in 2014.
• The most violations occurred in the afternoon, between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
• Friday was the busiest day for red-light running, while Sunday was the slowest.
• Memorial Day weekend had the highest number of red-light violations among holiday travel periods, with 37,800.
