PASADENA - The Pasadena Police Department will be conducting a Red Light
Enforcement Program on Friday, September 20, 2013. This enforcement
detail will be deployed throughout the City of Pasadena. The hours of
operation will be from 06:00 A.M to 1:00 P.M.
The Pasadena Police Department is committed to reducing the number
of traffic collisions resulting from drivers running red lights or
driving aggressively. The ultimate goal is to enforce and educate the
driving public at the same time reducing serious injuries and fatal
collisions.
A RED LIGHT means stop at the stop line, crosswalk or before the
intersection. Unless you are making a right turn, you must wait for the
green light before you proceed. After making a complete stop, you may
turn right on a red light if the intersection/crosswalk is clear of
pedestrians and traffic. However, if the intersection is posted with a
“No Right Turn on Red” sign, you must wait for a green light before any
turning movement.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California
Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
