You may have to wait a bit longer at stop lights in Miami-Dade county if commissioners have their way.

They're going to be introducing new legislation that looks to reduce red-light runners by implementing a four-second "all-red clearance interval."

They hope to improve safety by adding the system to high crash and high volume intersections, without the need of those controversial red light cameras.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, intersectional accidents account for 48% of injury-related traffic accidents nationwide, and generate almost $101 billion of societal cost each year.

They say the accidents are caused by drivers who try and "beat" red lights, and are responsible for about 800 deaths and 200,000 injuries each year nationwide.
