A "Red Light Violation" occurs when a vehicle enters an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red. This action is considered illegal and can lead to accidents, as it often puts drivers and pedestrians at risk. Traffic signals are designed to manage the flow of vehicles and ensure safety at intersections. Consequences of a red light violation may include fines, points on a driver's license, and increased insurance rates. Many cities use traffic cameras to monitor intersections and capture images of vehicles that run red lights, helping law enforcement enforce traffic laws more effectively.
