Deputies Enforcing Red Light Laws

Motorists who get caught failing to stop for a red traffic signal can expect to pay up this week, National Stop On Red Week.

Getting caught running a red light in Collier County will set you back $203.

The annual national campaign to stop red-light running started Sunday and ends Saturday.

CCSO is joining law enforcement agencies across the country to raise awareness of the dangers of running a red light.

Deputies will be conducting enforcement operations throughout Collier County during the campaign in an effort to make our local roadways a safer place.

If you see an intersection where people are always running red lights or know of a stretch of road that’s a favorite for speeders, we want to hear about it.

Call the CCSO Traffic Hotline at 530-ZOOM (966) and give us the information. We’ll pass it along to the deputies so they can check it out.
