Traffic Signal Timing & Analysis
"A valuable lesson that a traffic signal teaches us. Every problem is like a red signal. If you wait for some time, it will turn to green."

Traffic signals tell drivers what to do. The timing of these signals often helps us determine fault in a collision because they can answer questions regarding right-of-way. We can produce a synched dual-view video to show how the signal light cycles and determine if this evidence is consistent with the driver or witness account. This data can also be used to estimate the location of a vehicle when the light turned yellow or red. Research indicates that most drivers run the red light within 2 seconds of a collision. If a driver runs a red light and a collision occurs, that means they ran it bad (i.e. much worse than a typical red light violation).
