| Caught by red light camera?
Hi everyone, so I was driving along Broadway and reaching the intersection to turn at Nanaimo St. The light turned red, so I quickly made my right turn before the other cars went. While making the turn, something flashed twice, which I believe were the red light cameras. I did check the intersection before turning, I guess a rolling stop. Do you think I would get fined for turning right on a rolling stop at a red light?

I think you may be getting a ticket for rolling stop on a red

No, I don't think you will get a ticket for turn right on Red Light.

No, you won't get a ticket if you turning right at that time.
Just slow down when you pass the intersection and made a full stop even thought it is a right turn.

I used to work the 5 am shift and cross a lot of the major intersections (ie, they all have traffic cameras) and since it was 4:00 or 4:30am when I'd go through those intersections, I'd do lazy rolling-stop right turns all the time. On more than one occasion the flashes went off but IIRC the pictures are reviewed by a person before they're sent out, so you should be in the clear.

Its called a STOP line for a reason.. I sure hope you also checked for pedestrian (if any) and not just for oncoming cars..

You most likely will not get one, so sleep easy.
However, it's terrible out these days, and if you hit someone doing the same thing you're going to have to worry about a lot more than a red-light ticket.
Drive safe.

No you're good.
You usually only get a red light ticket if you roll through the intersection.

Or you can just wait to see if you get a ticket in the mail.
As smart as people are on here, we can't say no your fine and have it be true

Drive safe. | I definitely slowed down a bit and scanned for other cars and pedestrians but just accelerated quickly to make the turn before the other cars. The weather wasn't that bad yesterday. For sure I'll play it safe next time.

iirc, the red light camera takes two photos hence flashing twice. First photo is of your vehicle entering the intersection and second photo supposedly of your vehicle in the middle of the intersection passing through. If you're not passing through in the second photo I think you're good.

as most said i think you should be fine, but remember a red light means you STOP no matter what turn you do, then you coulda proceeded after it. im guilty of doing what you did and luckily nothing so far, but if a cop had seeing it he could have pulled you over for a running a red

I have another question. What if you're the second car in line waiting to take a left turn at lets say SW Marine Dr turning into Argyle.
Light turns yellow and you're out far enough to be obstructing the pedestrian crosswalk completely. When you turn and the red light camera gets you do you get a ticket in that situation?
I would imagine the guy looking at the photo looks and sees that you were taking a left turn but when you're the second car and not the first car thats completely in the intersection i wonder what happens.

I've got flashed making a right turn on a red, don't worry you'll be okay. However, i have got a red light camera ticket making a left at 49/granville. 12am no cars in the intersection so i tried to squeeze my turn in and i was clocked at 32km/h. I crossed the line .3 seconds after it was red  friends told me i wouldn't get a ticket but it came in the mail.
i paid it anyway.

Would the person reviewing the picture consider the condition of the road and weatheer before they issue? I was coming to an intersection trying to make a left. That day was raining hard and I was driving a courtesy Corolla with limited brakes and traction on the tires. As the lights turn yellow I slammed on my brakes but the car kept sliding forward. So I went passed the line when it turned red. And since I was in the middle of the intersection, I made the left anyways being the fact that I don't want to just stop there and reverse back. Saw the lights flashed twice... so I guess I am getting the ticket regardless?

You might be able to dispute it with that explanation, but then that might get you a "speed relative to conditions" ticket instead - ie. if you couldn't stop in time, you were probably going too fast for the weather conditions.

This has happened to me a few times before. Nothing has ever happened.
First flash triggers because you were past the stop line during the red.
Second flash triggers, but your car isn't there (due to turning right)
So no problem. That's the whole point of the "two-photo (flash)" system.
If your car wasn't in the second picture, you weren't running through a red light.
