Red Light Cameras In Warrington: Are They Improving Safety?

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Traffic safety continues to improve at two of the township's busiest intersections following the installation of automated red light cameras in January 2024, township police are saying.

This week, the Warrington Township Police Department released its 2025 report on its Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLE) Program, which targets two of the township's busiest intersections - Easton and Bristol roads and Easton and Street roads.

According to the report, the enforcement program continues to show positive results. \

Violations decreased by 42 percent compared to 2024, indicating improved driver behavior, police said. Of the approximately 26 million vehicles that passed through the monitored intersections, the violation rate was just 0.02 percent, with only 13 percent involving Warrington residents.

Since the inception of the program, there has been "a notable decrease" in overall accidents from 2022 to the end of 2025, according to the report.

Easton and Street roads has seen a 30 percent decrease in all accidents and a 29 percent decrease in reportable accidents. Easton and Bristol Roads has seen a seven percent decrease in all accidents and a 25 percent decrease in reportable accidents.

While crash data fluctuates year to year, police said the report indicates that overall accident trends remain lower when compared to a five-year period, with the most serious crashes involving turning or angle collisions.

“These results demonstrate that automated enforcement continues to change driver behavior and improve safety in Warrington,” said Sergeant Kenneth Hawthorn, ARLE Program Supervisor. “Our goal is safer roadways, and the data shows this program is making a meaningful impact.”
