1. A method for logging traffic collision data at a traffic signal, by a processor device, comprising:
- recording a media loop of a predetermined time and an associated traffic light sequence by a recording device placed in substantially close proximity to a traffic signal; and
upon registering a media event above a predetermined threshold level comprising registering a sound above a predetermined decibel level and detecting a change in moving object motion above a predetermined object motion level such that, saving instant media loop information and the associated traffic light sequence to a storage device for aiding in determining fault in a traffic accident;
wherein the media loop information includes the traffic light sequence including a traffic light color at incremented intervals prior to and after the media event, a registered decibel level of the media event, and timestamp information.
