Yes. Trained officers review each citation before it is issued to ensure that the vehicle is in violation. Tickets are mailed to vehicle owners only in cases where it is clear the vehicle ran the red light and where the photographed driver’s gender matches that of the licensed owner or a licensed driver in their household.

A red light running violation occurs when a motorist deliberately enters an intersection after the signal light has turned red. Motorists who are already in an intersection when the signal changes to red - while waiting to turn, for example - aren’t red light running and are not ticketed.
Fines for a Red Light Violation are $436. Drivers are reminded that an approach for a right turn that is regulated by a red light requires a complete stop. Specifics on this right of way condition can be located in the California Drivers License Handbook (PDF).
