RWCPD was in error when it <br />reported 527 citations issued during the first six months of operation. <br />There were actually 526 citations issued. In addition, prior to the camera <br />installation, there was an average .of seven accidents every six m~nths <br />from 2001 through 2005 at that intersection. <br /> <br />The City agrees there was only one collision on eastbound Whipple <br />Avenue because of a red-light violation during the first six months of the <br />camera's operation. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />Recommendatlon #1 . <br />Continue to move fOlWard with the installation of photo enforcement red light <br />cameras in accordance with the Redwood City Po/ice Departmenfs (RWCPD) <br />analysis of the number of collisions that support the installation of these lights. <br /> <br />Response <br />The recommendation is being implemented. The city is moving forward <br />with the .installation of Photo Red Light Enforcement Systems at three <br />additional approacheslintersections based on ~nalysls of the number of <br />collisions at those approacheslintersections. The City expects the systems <br />to be installed by the end of calendar year 2009. <br /> <br />Recommendation #2 <br />Install a photo enforcement camera notification sign alerting frame traveling <br />eastbound on Whipple Avenue approaching Veterans Boulevard. <br /> <br />Re8pon8e <br />The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted. <br /> <br />21455.5 (a) (1) of the California Vehicle Code states that the <br />governmental agency may maintain an automated traffic enforcement <br />system if it identifies the system by signs that clearly indicate the system's <br />presence and are visible to traffic approaChing from all directions, or posts <br />signs at all major entrances to the city, including, at a minimum, freeways, <br />bridges, and state highway routes. <br /> <br />4 <br />
