Red Light Photo Enforcement Program Information
by Police Department
Posted Mar 01, 2010

The City of Warrenville began enforcing red light enforcement cameras at selected intersections in January 2009. The intersections will be identified as "Red Light Photo Enforced" through signage.

The City of Warrenville has three main objectives for implementing the program:

  • Reduce the number of injury crashes resulting from right angle and turning collisions;
  • Reduce the total number of crashes at an intersection overall;
  • Reduce the number of Red Light Violations at the selected intersections.

Enforcement Citations will be issued to motorists who run red lights without stopping OR those who fail to come to a complete stop before turning right on red.  

Motorists WILL NOT be cited if:

  • The motorist enters an intersection on a green which turns red before they have a chance to make a left turn;
  • The vehicle was yielding to an emergency vehicle or lawfully participating in a funeral procession.
