The Importance of Road Signals

All drivers are required to understand and abide by traffic signals without question. Red lights and stop signs are some of the most common traffic signals that are violated by motorists.

Road signals may serve several purposes, including:

  • Providing order so that traffic moves in a logical manner
  • Promoting efficiency of the flow of vehicles
  • Preventing motorists from crashing into each other
  • Helping motorists be aware of changing road conditions and hazards

The importance of traffic signals cannot be overstated, nor can the danger of intentionally or unintentionally disobeying such signals. Yet, statistics indicate that a significant number of motorists persistently disobey stop signals and stop signs.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), 846 people died in 2018 because of motorists who ran red lights. An additional 139,000 people were injured by motorists failing to stop at red lights. These individuals can include:

  • Pedestrians crossing the street
  • Bicyclists and other non-motorized vehicle operators
  • Motorcyclists
  • Other motorists
  • Passengers in other vehicles

Though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note that the installation of red-light cameras has helped reduce the number of red-light violations, the issue remains a persistent threat. If you or a loved one is seriously injured by a motorist running a red light, stop sign, or another traffic signal, you could be entitled to substantial compensation for your losses.
