The City of Creve Coeur has adopted regulations for the automated enforcement of Creve Coeur City Traffic Ordinance 16-398, Violation of Public Safety at Intersection. A vehicle may not be present in an intersection when the traffic control light is in the red phase. In the absence of a right turn on red restriction, a vehicle can make a right turn on the red, only after making a complete stop, and assuring that it is safe to proceed.

The cameras take two digital photos that document the violation and are mailed with a violation notice to the registered owner of the vehicle. The program operates 24 hours a day seven days a week in all weather conditions.

The camera is only activated when a vehicle violates a red light and all intersections with red light cameras are clearly marked with photo enforcement signs. A Creve Coeur Police Officer reviews every violation before the notice is issued. Violation notices contain images of the violation vehicle before it enters the intersection, while it is in the intersection and the license plate of the vehicle.

A 2001 study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety collected data from 10 cities (5 with automated systems, 5 without automated systems) and determined there to be overwhelming support for automated enforcement. The average approval rate for the 10 cities was 77.8% in favor of such systems, with only a 12% variance between the highest and lowest approval. Other polls have shown similar results. Citizens overwhelmingly support automated enforcement to make our roadways safer.

A violation notice is mailed only after both reviewers agree. The flash can be triggered by many things, including automatic system checks. The flash often happens when vehicles make a right turn on red. After making a complete stop, as the vehicle begins to turn, the system takes the photos in case the vehicle just goes straight through the red light. The human reviewers see this and reject the violation.
