New statistics reveal Sydney's most dangerous intersections

After 40 years in operation, red light cameras continue to catch more people than ever despite costly fines and the risk offending drivers pose to lives.

The 247 red light cameras at high-risk intersections across NSW continue to catch thousands of offenders.

"If that crash happens at 70km/h, you'll only have a 20 per cent chance you'll survive that crash," Centre for Road Safety chief Bernard Carlon said.

"If it happens at 50km/h, there's a 90 per cent chance you'll survive that crash.

"Just think about the consequences of tragically taking someone's life and slow down, obey the signals, stop the red light running."

Every year on NSW roads, more than 100 people are seriously injured, with three deaths last year.

Statistics show that Sydney's most notorious intersection is Victoria Road and Darling Street at Rozelle, with almost 3000 red light fines handed out to dangerous drivers since January.

2799 red light runners were caught on the Stacey Street and Hume Highway intersection in Bankstown.

The Elizabeth and Park streets junction in the city was responsible for booking 2490 drivers since the start of the year.

The latest figures have shown that red light cameras reduce the number of deaths at intersections and drop serious injuries by more than half.

Running a red costs drivers at least $562 and three demerit points.
