Red-light running is an increasingly dangerous and costly problem that is plaguing the streets of our Country. Lakeland has joined the ranks with other communities and will soon have a camera enforcement program designed to reduce the number of violations, crashes and injuries caused by red-light runners. The objective is to make the community safe and to have drivers obey the traffic signals and stop on red.
Starting June 1, 2009 first offenders caught by the camera will be charged a $125 fine for running red lights. The first phase of Lakeland’s camera program will cover five intersections.
Red light cameras will capture two images of the offending vehicle—one showing the vehicle before entering the intersection on a red light, and one showing the vehicle proceeding through the intersection on red. A video is also made of the violation. The images are reviewed and the violation confirmed by an officer with the Lakeland Police Department before a violation notice is issued.
Owners of vehicles photographed running red lights receive a Notice of Violation and are subject to fines. Those who receive a Notice of Violation can obtain additional information or view their violations and video online at www.ViolationInfo.com. Citizens also can call toll free 1-866-790-4111, if they have questions.
