Municipal Court - Red Light Camera Program
What is the Red Light Camera Enforcement System?
The red light camera enforcement system is operated by the City of
Duluth Police Department in accordance with state law and local
ordinance, with the goal to reduce the number of red light violations
and intersection collisions. The system operates twenty-four hours a
day.
Do the cameras photograph every vehicle?
No. The red light camera enforcement system only captures images of
vehicles that may have violated the ordinance.
Who receives the citations?
Citations are mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
What if I wasn't driving at the time of the violation?
Please refer to the back of the printed citation.
How much is the fine? How do I pay?
The fine for a red light camera violation is $70.00.
To pay the fine, detach the bottom portion of the citation and send with
payment to the address listed. Payments should be sent using the window
envelope included with the citation. Acceptable forms of payment include
Cashiers Check, Money Order, MasterCard, or Visa, or you may pay online
at www.duluthga.net/courts
as long as your citation is NOT
past due.
Will this affect my insurance? Will points be assessed on my
driving record?
No. Red light violations are considered civil violations only, and will
not affect insurance premiums, nor will points be assessed to the
driving record by the Department of Driver Services.
What if I want to appeal or contest the citation?
To request a court hearing, detach and complete the section entitled,
