The Volusia-Flagler TPO Observes National Stop on Red Week— August 3-9, 2025
This August, the Volusia-Flagler TPO, in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation, the City of Daytona Beach, and the National Coalition for Safer Roads, is proudly participating in National Stop on Red Week 2025 — a nationwide campaign dedicated to saving lives by raising awareness about the dangers of red-light running.
Launched by the Federal Highway Administration, Stop on Red Week serves as a powerful reminder that safe choices behind the wheel can prevent real tragedies.
Here’s why it matters:
• In 2022, 1,149 people were killed in crashes involving red-light running.
• That same year, over 107,000 people were injured in these preventable collisions.
• Nearly half of those killed were not the violators —they were pedestrians, cyclists, and other innocent road users.
• The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that urban red-light crashes are among the most likely to cause injuries.
• And according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 1 in 3 Americans know someone who has been hurt or killed in a red-light running crash.
That’s why the Volusia-Flagler TPO is urging drivers to make one simple commitment that can save lives: Always Stop on Red.
Together, we can make our streets safer — one stop at a time. Safety is the responsibility of every driver, not just during Stop on Red Week, but every day and every time someone gets behind the wheel. Intersection safety is an extremely important aspect of road safety in our community.
