WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) issued a series of recommendations aimed at fixing its red light-running problem, including capping train speeds and installing brighter bulbs at the site of frequent violations, The Washington Post reports.
An overview of 88 red-signal overruns dating back to 2011, shed light on the times, places, and conditions under which WMATA trains were most likely to run red lights. The agency’s review found violations occurred most frequently on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons, though the offenses were spread evenly during peak periods on weekdays.
