Red Light Jumping

More than 5% of people killed on our roads due to red light jumping, which happens at more than 20,000 a year! This is clearly avoidable.

How to do it right

• Anticipate the potential signal change when approaching signals
• Approaching an amber signal, make sure you stop safely before the signal turns red
• Watch out for vehicles in front of you which might break hard to avoid amber or red lights.
• Signal areas are ‘hot spots’ and require our full attention – make sure you are fully concentrated and not distracted!

Watch out for this

• PAY ATTENTION to avoid red light jumping!
• You seriously endanger yourself, other drivers and pedestrians in red light jumping.
• Approaching an amber signal, don’t speed up trying to pass before the signal turns red.
• Drive with a sense of anticipation and plan for a potential signal change.
• In dense traffic situations, watch the traffic, but also keep an eye on the signal
• Pedestrians, too must not jump the red lights of pedestrian cross
