What is the Suffolk County Red Light Safety Program?

Long Island Car Accident LawyerIn 2010, Suffolk County decided to implement the Red Light Safety Program to promote road safety and prevent car accidents associated with large intersections. Unfortunately, drivers running red lights are a common cause of car accidents, especially fatal ones. While this program has successfully prevented some accidents, they can still happen. That is why Winkler Kurtz LLP is here to help if you are involved in a car accident. Our Long Island Car Accident Lawyer is trained and experienced in fighting the most challenging car accident legal battles. Additionally, there are appeal processes through the Red Light Safety Program, and you may need an attorney to help you navigate the process. We want to ensure you are safe and receive the compensation you deserve from a car accident!

What is the Red Light Safety Program?

This program involves setting up red-light cameras to change the way people drive on the streets of Suffolk County. The idea is to prevent people from risking running a red light because if they do, they will receive a fine through the red light camera. The cameras are placed at specific locations with data to show significant car crashes, traffic, and continual red light violations. An important thing to note about this program is the fact that there cannot be a camera at an intersection without proper signage and communication of a camera. 

Appropriate signage is a necessary part of the program and ensures that everyone driving through an intersection knows about the imaging. The idea is that the cameras will only go off and capture a license plate if the car enters the intersection after the light has turned red. It will not go off for a vehicle passing through on a yellow light or a yellow light that turns red as long as the car entered the intersection when the light was yellow. The general fine for running a red light in an intersection with a camera is $80, and there is a $25 late fee. You will still receive the penalty even if someone else is driving the car registered in your name. Car accidents still occur at intersections and due to running red lights, even though this program aims to combat that. Additionally, the appeal process for a fine from this program can be lengthy and complex. Our Long Island Car Accident Lawyer is here to help you navigate the legal procedures regarding car accidents or appeals.

Believe me, you are in good hands. Thank you Rich and staff. Could not have asked for more!!

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

- Elissa Rand

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo. This team answered all my phone calls handled all my paperwork in a quick manner there were never any surprises and they were on top of everything with the insurance companies and anything else associated to my case I highly recommend this law firm to anyone you will not be disappointed and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me Mr Winkler!
