Sensys America Stop On Red Week
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) August 06, 2017 -- Sensys America celebrates National Stop on Red Week beginning August 6th to 12th by encouraging all drivers to pay special attention to slowing down at intersections and stopping at red lights.
During Stop on Red Awareness Week, Sensys America is hoping for a Zero Fatality week. Sensys America is looking forward to one week out of the year when there are zero fatalities from red light running. Sensys America CEO Carlos Lofstedt says, “We hope every week is a Zero Fatality week but especially during Stop On Red week!”
Stop On Red week brings awareness of people’s driving habits to the forefront, something Sensys America does every day through red light camera photo enforcement, which has been shown to change people’s driving habits in the locations where they are installed.
Accidents from red light running are the most preventable accident, while T-bone crashes from red light running can cause the most injury and deaths. Those hurt or killed are not usually the red light runner but passengers of either both cars, the other driver, pedestrians and cyclists.
“Red light running is an extremely selfish act because the driver isn’t usually hurt. It’s passengers and drivers of other cars, as well as pedestrians and cyclists, who suffer from this self-centered behavior. The long-lasting ripple effect is incalculable because, of course, the families and friends suffer as well,” said Carlos Lofstedt. "We hope this week drivers will pay attention as they approach red light intersections and Stop on Red!"
What drivers can do:
• Stop On Red.
• Where right turn on red is allowed, make a full stop before turning right.
• Look both ways before entering an intersection, even on a green light.
• Signal Every turn.
• Yield to other drivers and to bicyclists and pedestrians.
Being rushed and distracted by other things are some of the causes for red light running. This Stop On Red week, we ask drivers to remember, when they’re behind a car, they’re operating a piece of machinery that needs their full attention.
