How Does Red Light Camera Enforcement Work?

[LeHarmony]

Generally, traffic cameras use induction loops to detect the pressure from vehicles on the road. The sensors collect signals and send them to the central processor, which temporarily stores the data in a register (this data remains valid for the duration of one red light cycle). If two pulse signals are generated within the same time interval (during the red light cycle), it is considered "valid," meaning the vehicle has run a red light and will be photographed. Methods to avoid running a red light while driving: Follow the arrow signal if available; otherwise, observe the circular signal. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light starts flashing, proceed if you are close and moving fast, as braking may not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you encounter a crosswalk, stop line, or intersection.
