Points for Red Light Camera Violations: What You Should Know

With cameras being placed throughout more traffic lights and intersections in Philadelphia, we begin to ask ourselves, “What happens when we get a red light camera ticket?”

The good news: these Tickets carry no points. Due to the fact that the camera does not snap a photo of the driver of the car, PennDOT cannot assign points for violation of red light camera tickets.

The bad news: in certain circumstances, getting a red light camera ticket can have a negative impact on your life. For example, if you are employed as a driver and get a red light camera ticket in the company car, it may be a violation of your company’s policies.
