More Redlight cameras

Arlington is adding 4 new red light cameras at eastbound Lee Highway and North Lynn Street; southbound Fort Myer Drive and westbound Lee Highway; westbound Lee Highway at Washington Boulevard; and northbound Glebe Road at Fairfax Drive.

Just watch your back at those intersections. From the article "They determined that rear-end crashes did increase by 27 percent when cameras were used, but crashes in which a car ran a red light and struck another vehicle at an angle decreased by 42 percent."

A 27% increase in rear enders is no good if the person getting reared is on a moto... So keep your radar on high for in attentive drivers behind you at those intersections and/or people panic breaking in front of you

Just a friendly reminder that 3 of the 4 cams are activated today (6/14). Here's a Google map ( ) of the intersections created by a coworker.

Thanks for the heads up.  I didn't realize there were so many red light cameras in DC.  I've gotten hit by the speed camera before, but not the red light ones.
