Drivers who run red lights are behaving recklessly. These signals are intended to regulate the flow of traffic and keep motorists safe. However, they are ineffective when drivers fail to adhere to their signals.

An estimated 719 people were killed in red-light crashes in 2015. This means that nearly 60 people are killed per month by red-light runners. Injured parties may be eligible to recover lost compensation by calling an Illinois car crash attorney.
