What Happens If I Stop On A Crosswalk?
Question from a reader: What happens if the light just turned yellow and I chose to stop, but stopped with my front tires on the first limit lines of the crosswalk? Thereafter, when the traffic light turned red. I proceeded to back up a little bit. Was the photo captured? Am I at fault? I receive this question from readers about once per week. I don't have the answer and would like to ask my readers what have you experienced. Did you get a ticket? Please submit your comments below.

NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1111-a
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each city with a population of one million or more is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt and amend a local law or ordinance establishing a demonstration program imposing monetary liability on the owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with traffic control indications in such city in accordance with the provisions of this section.
Such demonstration program shall empower a city to install and operate traffic-control signal photo-monitoring devices at No More Than FIFTY intersections within such city at any one time.
CURRENTLY THERE ARE 397 UNITS AS OF A PRIVATE COUNT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
Bronx = 63; Brooklyn = 105; Manhattan = 118; Queens = 109; Richmond = 2.
That is currently 347 to many!!!

FIGHT EVERY VIOLATION AS A VIOLATION OF SECTION 111-A(A) AS STATED ABOVE!!!!
Police departments in California use discretion when citing anyone who runs a red light, and gets caught on a photo enforced camera. Greedy cities like Santa Ana might try to ticket the motorist, but it's hard to say. I can say this about a time when a camera recently triggered off on me in Fullerton: I did not get a notice when I was finishing a right turn when the light turned red on me, and my rear wheels triggered the camera. My front end had already crossed the line a fraction of a second before the yellow light changed to red. One factor to consider though: I have plate covers, which may have blinded the camera.
