GOVERNMENT<br />

Along with the number one goal of safety, the<br />

Village would like to reduce the number of red<br />

light tickets issued. Please be reminded of the<br />

basic rules of the road when it comes to red<br />

lights so you can avoid a ticket, whether from<br />

a police officer or a red light camera.<br />

RULES OF THE ROAD<br />

• All you have to do is STOP when the light<br />

turns red. That’s it! Just STOP.<br />

• Going straight through? STOP when the<br />

light turns red.<br />

• Making a right turn on red? STOP at the<br />

red light, look for pedestrians, and proceed<br />

when it’s clear.<br />

• Turning left against traffic? Wait behind the<br />

crosswalk until oncoming cars have passed, then make<br />

your turn on green. If the light changes while you’re<br />

waiting, STOP at the red light.<br />

Sometimes you’ll notice the red light camera flash even when<br />

you’ve done everything right, don’t worry! Sometimes the<br />

cameras flash to recalibrate themselves. In addition, all red<br />

light camera tickets go through a two-step review before<br />

being mailed, to make sure a violation occurred.<br />

The bottom line is: drive safely, STOP at all red lights, and<br />

you won’t get a ticket! Let’s work together to keep everyone<br />

safe! GV<br />
