Got a red camera ticket for turning right on Red where allowed (law, legal) - Long Island - New York (NY) - City-Data Forum

Hello,

I just wanted to confirm and also warn you guys. If it doesn't say cannot turn right on red on a road, that means I can turn right anywhere in LI. but I believe you have to still make a full stop?

Anyway I got a ticket turning right on red (where it is allowed) but I didn't make a full stop and turned right.

I don't know what the deal is, but I am not going to turn right on red at all on that street anymore.... it sucks that it is on the way to work...

what intersection was this?

I was sitting at Rt112 and Woodside today, watching the camera flashing away at people making LEGAL left turns with the green arrow.

You must make a full stop. I got banged for that too. I was guilty to be honest.

Why not come to a complete stop before you turn?

^ Pretty much this. You broke the law now you will pay $50. Its simple.

you must make a full stop, count to three and then proceed to make the right turn..it sucks but that is the only safe way not to get a ticket ...

It beats having to wait for the light to turn to green, doesn't it??

As far as what the deal is, you can still make the turn on red there, but you MUST come to a full and complete stop. The law is very clear on that, very black and white and no gray area. Its similar to a stop sign, you MUST come to a complete stop, rolling it will get you a ticket every time if you are caught, because well its illegal.
