Does the Red Light Camera Only Take Photos After 2 to 3 Seconds?

[GraceLynn]

Red light cameras do not wait 2 to 3 seconds before taking photos. When the red light turns on, the electronic police camera system is already in operation. When the green light turns on, the camera system shuts down 2 seconds in advance. When the yellow light turns on, the camera system delays activation by 2 seconds. This method helps reduce the likelihood of the camera system mistakenly capturing violations for vehicles running red lights. Drivers can apply to the traffic police to revoke red light violation penalties under the following circumstances: 1. Running a red light to yield to emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, road rescue vehicles, or special-purpose vehicles; 2. Running a red light due to following traffic police instructions; 3. Running a red light because of being rear-ended at an intersection; 4. Running a red light due to obstructed visibility caused by large vehicles ahead.
