What is the City of Puyallup Red Light Photo Enforcement Program?
A. Pedestrian collisions and right-angle vehicle collisions at high speeds often result from running red lights. Studies have shown that such collisions involve more risk of serious injury or death than other kinds of collisions. In an effort to reduce these types of accidents, the State of Washington and the City of Puyallup have adopted laws that allow automated camera enforcement of selected traffic safety statutes and ordinances. City of Puyallup ordinance no. 10.33 authorizes the installation and operation of automated cameras to enforce the City’s stoplight ordinances. From a review of a video recording by an automated traffic camera it has been determined that, on the date and time and at the location indicated on the front side of this notice, your vehicle was facing a steady circular red signal when it failed to stop at a clearly marked stop line or at any other stopping point described in the ordinance. Some images may contain both a steady red signal and a fading yellow sign
