According to recent analysis by 17 American Traffic Solutions (ATS), driver behaviour at St Louis red-light safety cameras monitored intersections continues to change. The study found that the number of red-light running violations captured at ATS monitored intersections has fallen significantly as drivers have become more accustomed to increased red-light enforcement.

The analysis found that fewer and fewer vehicles are being issued multiple violations; 84 per cent of vehicle owners who received and paid one red light running citation since the program started in May 2007 never received another citation.

Similarly, in the six years since cameras were First installed, the average number of citations issued per camera per month citywide has decreased by nearly 60 per cent despite new cameras being installed.
