Red light camera on Six Forks by Bonefish Grill/Kerr Drugs

It will be interesting to see what you find with regards to the yellow light interval. The National Motorists Association (formerly CCRTL) has documented numerous cases of short yellow lights. Here's a link to a web page with more information about how yellow light intervals should be calculated ("should" being used here from a safety/engineering perspective as opposed to say, revenue generating) :

Hey. At 6:00am this morning, I tried to make an abrupt stop so that I would be SURE not to get screwed by this particular camera, but the road was covered with ice and I slid (as my engine stalled from the sudden nature of the stop) past the "stop bar" and right into the cross-walk.

I have two questions: 1 - Since I never got to the middle of the intersection and ended up sitting spread across the cross-walk, but over the stop bar, is this a violation?

2 - how can you find out OTHER THAN getting this thing in the mail - whether the camera thinks you violated the red-light? I don't receive any post-office mail so how can you contact someone who can tell you whether or not you have a problem? I also heard that your credit report will get impacted if you don't pay the thing - but if you never receive it, then what happens? I am making every effort to do the right thing - but between the icy roads and not using the post office, they sure make it hard.

Thanks.

The ticket will be mailed to the address associated with your license plate. Who's address are you using?

If you stopped in the crosswalk you didn't enter the intersection. The camera takes a picture of your plate, it does not sound like you were anywhere near close enough for the camera to snap a picture of the back of your car where the plate is. I doubt it was considered a violation.

Is that camera still thee? I thought it had been removed a while back, but could be wrong.
