There Are At Least 63 Red Light Cameras in NYC

Greetings!

We know it is tempting to go through a yellow light, but beware – there are at least 31 Red Light Cameras in Manhattan, 10 in The Bronx, 12 in Brooklyn, 8 in Queens, and 2 in Staten Island. These cameras have been around since 1993 and NYC has collected more than $73 million in fines from red light camera tickets in the last nine years.

How does it work? The camera’s sensor can detect that a vehicle is moving too fast to stop at a red light, so it takes a photograph of the red light. A few seconds later, it takes a picture of your car crossing through the intersection against the red light.

The good news is that a Red Light Summons DOES NOT put any points on your license. It is treated as a parking ticket and typically has a $50 fine.

Breaking News – legislation was just signed last week that allows NYC to have up to 150 cameras, up from the earlier cap of 100 cameras.

Thanks to our friends at the NY law firm of Weiss & Associates at 888 Red Light. Call them for any kind of moving violation. They’re the experts.
