Red-Light Cameras

Straight Through: A red-light violation happens when a driver crosses the white stop line after the traffic signal turns red. However, drivers already in the intersection when the traffic signal changes—such as those waiting to turn—are not considered violators.

Right Turn: A red-light violation occurs if a driver makes a right turn without doing so safely and responsibly.

Right Turn with "No Turn On Red" Sign: A red-light violation occurs when a driver makes a right turn at an intersection where a "No Turn on Red" sign is posted.

NOTE: A red-light camera Notice of Violation (NOV) does not appear on your driving record.

Detection: High-definition cameras at designated intersections detect vehicles running red lights using sensors.

Video and Image Capture: When triggered, the system records a video from which three still images are captured. The system activates only when a vehicle fails to stop at a red light.

Violation Review: The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office reviews each violation before issuing a NOV, which includes images of the vehicle before it enters the intersection, while it is in the intersection, and the license plate of the vehicle.

Notice of Violation Issued: If a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office employee approves a violation, a NOV is mailed from Red Speed w/ a return address of Hillsborough County Intersection Safety Program. P.O. Box 6000 Oldsmar, FL 34677-6800 with instructions for payment or contesting the NOV.

No Impact on Driving Record: A red-light camera NOV does not appear on your driving record.

A Notice of Violation for a red-light infraction is issued when a vehicle does not stop at the clearly marked stop line or any designated stopping point as specified in the ordinance when facing a steady red light.

The vehicle's registered owner must pay a $158 statutory penalty on or before the due date on the Notice of Violation. 

Failure to pay the notice of violation will result in a Uniform Traffic Citation being issued by certified mail and an increased fine of $264. 

NOTE: There are no points assessed for this NOV and it does not appear on your driving record.
