Running a "Red Light" question...

[TGMT²]

Did some searching on Google but got varied results.

Situation: Approaching intersection, and light turns yellow. You decide to stop but end up about a 1/2 a car length past the forward crosswalk line.

All the intersection camera's flash and take your picture. You back-up behind the cross walk and wait for green.

Question: Is this considered "running a red light" ?

Or is this "Crosswalk Infringement" ?

In the UK & Australia, running the red is when the whole vehicle goes thro' the lights at the intersection. There is at least two seconds' grace B4 the cameras engage.

I would have to say "running a red light"

[TGMT²]

What you are saying GB is the whole vehicle has to enter the intersection?

Today has been a week exactly and I still haven't heard anything from the courts.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Logically speaking, u cant run a light if you never went under it. Just have to look up your local law and see what they say constitutes a running a red light.

[oompaloompa]

agreed, you havent gone thru intersection therefore have not run a red light.

bit like stealing from shops law, not until youve left building, one foot in one out, not applicable

Well its been almost 5 weeks and a ticket never showed up in the mail. YAY!

So it looks like it is not a red light ticket, at least not in the state of Arizona.

You will be fine. You did not run a red light and there will no be ticket.
