"Cameras change people's driving behavior," said coalition president David Kelly. "Fifty-six percent of the people told us that the cameras change their driving behavior and as a traffic safety professional, that's all you ask for. You want people to stop doing something that's dangerous."
Kelly says as the state is now deciding whether to add more towns to the red light cameras pilot program, he hopes driver's thoughts outlined in this survey are taken into account.
