For those wondering if the red light cameras actually make the intersections safer, both Savannah Police and the city of Savannah said there has been a decrease in the number of serious accidents; however, there is no way to know for sure because an accident could happen at a red light intersection and have no connection to trying to beat the red light camera. The past few years the city of Savannah has collected anywhere from $689,000 to nearly $800,000 a year in red light ticket fines. All of the money goes to the city's Parking and Mobility Services for road improvements and upgrades.
