Will running a red light unintentionally always be captured?

[StStephanie]

Running a red light unintentionally does not necessarily mean it will be captured. For a red light violation to be confirmed, traffic cameras require two photos: one showing the vehicle crossing the stop line and another showing it entering the opposite lane at the intersection. If you realize you've run a red light, avoid entering the opposite lane and wait until the light turns green before proceeding. This way, it cannot be confirmed as a red light violation, and you won't receive a ticket. If a vehicle just crosses the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, traffic authorities will not penalize it. However, any significant movement after crossing the line will result in a penalty. Electronic monitoring captures three photos for red light violations: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by two more showing the vehicle in the middle of the intersection and reaching the opposite side. Only when all three photos are present will it be confirmed as a red light violation, which incurs a 6-point deduction under the new regulations.
