HONOLULU — The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) has installed the ninth of the 10 red light cameras in the Red-Light Safety Camera (RLSC), a two-year pilot program. It will start issuing warnings on Friday and is at McCully Street and Algaroba Street before being activated to issue citations.

It is typically $97 to run a red light per the City and county of Honolulu, but the fine can be up to $200. If a vehicle does not stop at the stop line when faced with a traffic signal that is steady red, it is considered in violation of Hawaii’s Revised Statute 291C-32.

Per the last five years of HDOT’s data, running red lights has resulted in 1,879 crashes statewide.

More information on the pilot program can be found at: hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/red-light-safety-program.
