Traffic lights with cameras?

Does anyone know how long after you run a red light that it takes a picture? I ran one today after about one second after the light had turned red. and do you have to go to traffic school for this if you get a ticket? thanks..Traffic lights with cameras?
It takes a picture as soon as the light is red and there is a car inside the intersection. If you get a ticket (there's a chance that you won't) you may go to traffic school.
In my area, the photo enforcement cameras are programmed to take photos of cars that run both yellow and red lights. The cameras also take photos of cars that are in the intersection the when the light changes from green to yellow. The photo is taken a split second after your car crosses the bold line. These are some very busy cameras. I had to go thru one of these intersections on the way home, the cameras took pictures of the 6 cars ahead of me, all of which had the light change from green to yellow while in the intersection.Traffic lights with cameras?
Depends upon the program. Technically, if the light is red then you are guilty. Based upon that the camera could legally be programmed to work immediately. Not that it is, but could be. Also consider the amount of time the caution light is on. It has to be on for at least a certain time to allow for "stragglers". Otherwise it is considered a type of trap which is illegal. If you had sufficient time to go through, then you should be okay. If you really are in violation of the light, then you'll just have to pay the ticket which you'll get in the mail.
No, you don't need go to traffic school. You just need to pay the fine that is written on the ticket. You will need to go to traffic school if a police officer pulls you over and tells you otherwise. The traffic lights with cameras will take two pictures, 1st is when you trigger the camera, 2nd is when you cross the intersection along with your license plate. Traffic lights with cameras?
Well, if the lights are set up like they are in the town I live in the cameras have live feed that is reviewed by a security company. They will send you a ticket and it will usually cost around 75 dollars unless you want to argue that you weren't at fault then you can set up a date for a appeal.
Well i am not too sure but where I am from the cameras are not there to take pictures. They are there to see the traffic and for collision purposes. But i know that if you have to pass the light before it gets red if not it takes a picture right when its about to turn red.
The timing depends on the individual camera, but it's usually 0 - the camera will fire from the instant the light turns red.



Whether you have to take the class for a red light violation depends on your local jurisdiction.
i am not sure about the time but if u run i do not think u have to go to traffic school. but you will get a ticket if u beat the timing

This camera on the lights, only captures images after the red light turns on. As long as you were more than half way through the intersection, the camera wont do anything
about 3 seconds. But, i ran like a 100 red lights in the past and haven't got ticketed for it so unless you were speeding while doing it or something they shouldn't mess with you
No you just have to pay the fine. There is no traffic school. If you feel that they have ticketed them in error, I believe that they give you a number to call and you can go and contest it.
the ticket may or may not come after a month. but if they got you and the got a clear picture, you're in for a ticket.
Typical that a woman ran a red light. No surprises here.
i find those to be a money maker...

the only good thing about it is...

the ticket can not count as a moving violation to the insurance company
it took me 11 day to get the tickets in the mail it was 100.00 the first time thay say #2 is 200.00 and #3 is 400
about 2 weeks
no, i dont think so, u only may get an ticket
