Introduction:
Worldwide, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death by injury and the ninth leading cause of all deaths.
Traffic collisions kill about 43,000 Americans a year

Could speed cameras be the solution?

Primary questions need to be addressed
What are the Costs of the speed cameras?
What are the Benefits of the speed cameras?
Do speed cameras produce Net Benefits?

Method used to analyze the questions
The study introduced all the cost and benefits of the speeding cameras on:
- The societal point of view- Sponsoring-agency perspectives:
Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC)

Data source used in the article
The analysis that is used in this study is based on two years of program data (1996 through 1998)

Total Program Costs
Tables 2 & 3: Both the societal and ICBC perspectives, Photo Radar Program costs were = C$27.3 million.
Cost of travel time = C$372 million per year

Benefit from Reduction in Collisions, Injuries, Deaths, and Property Damage
it was estimated that the program prevented:
- 2,220 fewer injury collisions (14%)- 79 fewer fatal collisions (26%)
Emergency response worth C$0.14 million was avoided by photo radar
![Page 13: Cost Benefit Analysis Do Speed Cameras Produce Net Benefits? Evidence from British Columbia, Canada.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081700/56649e4a5503460f94b3eca2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In the societal perspective …
lives and injuries were valued using estimated economic values of:
-C$120,000 per injury collision
-C$4.58 million per fatal collision.
From (Table 2), the value of safety benefits = C$514 million

In the ICBC perspective
Estimated average claim costs of:
-C$40,000 for each injury collision
-C$50,000 for each fatal collision
Estimated claim savings (Table 3) of
C$66 million.

Summary of costs and benefits:
Net social benefit = C$115 million The largest single benefit is the value
of injuries, deaths, and property damage prevented =C$514 million/year
Photo Radar Program cost = $C27 million Lost travel time cost = C$372 million/year

Policy implications
Greater use of highway photo radar speed enforcement would be good public policy.
