7 th and Mission Streets shows how a red light camera installation can at times leave an intersection s collision trends unchanged. 7 th and Mission was one of the first red light cameras to be installed by the City in 997. The location was selected for its above average collision totals. In 998, after the red light camera had begun operation, the location reported a higher number of collisions and was one of the highest injury collision locations for the city (Figure ). Yellow lights were adjusted that year. The location continued to average collision totals close or higher than those present before the red light camera, reporting its second highest annual total in a decade in. In a major signal upgrade along the downtown portion of Mission Street was completed. This upgrade relocated the location of signal poles, installed overhead (mast arm) signals, and installed pedestrian signal indications. Annual injury collisions since the upgrade dropped significantly, suggesting it was the signal engineering upgrade and not the enforcement mechanism that in this case reduced the intersection s injury collision totals.
