I love how audits can call out in very matter of fact language irrational decisions. "These criteria demonstrate that issues other than strictly public safety played a role in determining the program locations." (p.22) The City Controller of Los Angeles completed an audit on the photo red light program and its effectiveness in reducing traffic accidents caused by running red lights. Best practices state that it is most effective to place cameras at intersections with high traffic and accident rates. The audit found that that placement was the result in part of the need to garner Council support for the program so cameras were located in each Council district regardless of traffic congestion and accident data.
