I’ve seen that argument before, but the numbers don’t back that up.

Red light cameras absolutely increase safety, there is a caveat though, it increases accident rates. It reduces deadlier accidents like head-ons and t-bones, but increases minor accidents like rear-ends. Arguably a tradeoff that has benefits.
