 Frequently Asked Questions 

 How much is the fine for a Red Light Camera violation?

 The fine for a red light camera citation is $50. Additional late fees of $25 will be assessed if the citation is not paid in accordance with established timeframes. 

 Are points assessed against my drivers license for a Red Light Camera violation?

 No.

 Can I receive citations for other offenses as a result of my Red Light citation?

 No.

 Can I turn right on red at Red Light Camera intersections where right -on-red-after-stop is permitted?

 Yes, but only after bringing your vehicle to a complete stop before the stop line and there is a complete cessation of vehicle movement. If you do not stop, but simply slow down and roll through the turn, you may receive a citation.

 Who receives the citation?

 Citations are mailed to the owner and/or registrant of the vehicle. The owner and/or registrant is legally liable to pay the fine.

 What if I wasn't the driver of the vehicle at the time of the violation?

 According to New York State laws, the owner and / or registrant are legally responsible to pay the fine without regard to whether they were actually driving at the time of the infraction.

 What if my vehicle or license plates were stolen prior to the citation?

 If your vehicle or license plates were stolen prior to the date and time of the red light infraction, please plead not guilty to the citation; and bring whatever proof you have to the Agency or contact the Agency at 631.853.3800.

 Will my insurance rates be affected?

 No.

 What happens if I ignore the notice of violation?

 Failure to pay the fine or to contest liability prior to the due date of the Notice of Liability is an admission of liability.

 Failure to pay the fine by the due date will result in the imposition of an additional late-payment fee of $25. If the fine is not paid after the second notice date, collections proceedings may commence and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles may be notified to place a hold on your registration activity.

 What if I don't believe I ran a red light and want to discuss my case with someone?

 Information on requesting a hearing before a Judicial Hearing Officer can be found on the Notice of Liability.

 If you are found liable after a hearing and wish to appeal the decision of the Judicial Hearing Officer, please visit the Agency or contact us at 631.853.3800 for information on how to file an appeal.
