How to Avoid a Ticket from a Red Light Traffic Camera

More and more red light traffic cameras have been installed to monitor traffic and issue citations or tickets. Following the steps below will help you learn how avoid a red light camera traffic violation or citation.

Instructions

1. If you are approaching an intersection and the trafic light shows yellow or red, stop at the intersection.

2. If it has turned yellow and you are unable to stop, as long as you have entered the intersection while the light is yellow, you should not receive a citation. In these instances, avoid slamming on your brakes as you should not receive a ticket and your actions may endanger other drivers behind you.

3. If you are making a right on red turn, be sure to make a complete two-second stop before you enter the intersection to turn right.
   Otherwise, you will probably receive a citation from the red light camera.

4. If you have received a citation, but believe you did nothing wrong, visit the web site identified on the ticket or citation. At the site, you will be able to watch the video and/or view pictures to confirm your violation. If it is not correct, challenge the ticket pursuant to the instructions provided on the ticket
