Notwithstanding, it seems that some of these lights turn from amber to red surprisingly fast, as opposed to, a timed pace as required under present legislation. Maybe to increase revenue?
If you have been issued a ticket for driving through a red light, via camera, check the timing of the actually light to see if you have a defense, namely improperly calibrated camera speed. Generally, a amber signal to red should be at least three seconds in a 25 miles per an hour speed zone. For each five mile-per-hour increase in vehicle speed, the minimum duration of the amber light must be increased by 0.5 seconds. For further information, give the New Jersey Department of Transportation a call located in Trenton.
