The Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization will observe National Stop on Red Week, which runs Aug. 4-10, 2024. Created by the Federal Highway Administration and spearheaded by the National Coalition for Safer Roads, National Stop on Red Week aims to educate drivers about the dangers of red-light running and to reduce the number and severity of crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that motorists in urban areas are more likely to be injured in crashes involving red-light running than in any other type of crash.

In 2022, 96 people were killed, and an estimated 728 people were seriously injured in crashes that involved red-light running in Florida. The U.S. Department of Transportation found that one in three Americans know someone who has been injured or killed in a red-light running crash.

The Space Coast TPO reminds all drivers to ALWAYS STOP on RED. Safety is the responsibility of every driver on the road – not just during Stop on Red Week, but every day and every time someone gets behind the wheel. Use the resources included below to promote red light safety in your community.
