It's my understanding that cameras are installed at some Tampa intersections to
photograph motorists who run red lights........that is what this thread is related to.
Does anyone have a quote from an actual Florida traffic law, complete with statute
number, so we can see for ourselves what it "clearly states"? -Bob
How long have you been driving, and you still don't know you can make a right on red? Assuming the fact that there isnt a "no right on red" sign, in that case, obviously you cant make a right on red.
Here's the information for you, since you're too lazy to type a few keystrokes into google:
316.075 Traffic control signal devices.—
a. The driver of a vehicle which is stopped at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if none then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection in obedience to a steady red signal may make a right turn, but shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and other traffic proceeding as directed by the signal at the intersection, except that municipal and county authorities may prohibit any such right turn against a steady red signal at any intersection, which prohibition shall be effective when a sign giving notice thereof is erected in a location visible to traffic approaching the intersection.
