By further analyzing they found an even more distinct correlation between population, total miles of available roadway and signalized intersections(Dobrotka, 1998). They realized that there were many factors that influenced traffic and not all of them could be controlled or impacted using traditional enforcement techniques. Through the programs that they enforced the examined the specific factors that contributed to the program's success. Through all the variables they found that speed limit enforcement reduced collisions and improved the traffic conditions. Overall they found that the best way to impact long term driving behavior was that a systems approach would have to be explored involving the incorporation of non-public safety organizations(Dobrotka, 1998). Using the crime triangle the victims of this problem is the citizen and residents within the community that are either involved in traffic incidents or bystanders that are affected by congestions and difficulty to get from one place to another. The offenders to this problem are the people that break the law, speeders and inattentive drivers that don’t pay attention to signs and regulations that cause these traffic incidents.

Also using the media to broadcast their campaign on a massive scale through newspaper, radio and television, traffic started to slow down. This was a collaborative effort of the many city departments such as the police department, city court, traffic engineering and the marketing department. The marketing department provided public information campaigns, traffic engineering provided improves signage and roadway modifications, the police department dedicated traffic resources, long term documentation and laser speed detection devices, and the city court improved fine schedule modifications(Dobrotka, 1998). Through all these improvement and collaboration they hoped to solve the traffic
