How do Red Light Photo Enforcement Cameras work?
• Red light safety cameras monitor intersection approaches through advanced detection and imaging technology. • The red light safety camera is only active when the traffic light is red. Vehicles crossing the stop line or entering the intersection after the light turns red are detected automatically. • A video of the violation is taken and the camera takes two images of the vehicle progressing through the red light. Cameras record information including the date, time, time elapsed since the beginning of the red signal, and vehicle speed. • The cameras photograph the vehicle from the rear the driver is not photographed. • Trained technicians review each violation before a citation is mailed to ensure that the vehicle is in violation.
