Frequently Asked Questions
What if I entered the intersection on amber?
If the light changed to red while you were already in the intersection or it was unsafe to stop, this is one of the strongest appeal grounds. The camera evidence should show your position relative to the stop line.
Can red light cameras malfunction?
Yes. Detection loops and cameras require regular calibration. You can request calibration records and maintenance logs as part of your appeal.
