Drivers in Orange County should be aware that if you don't completely stop before turning right on a red light in the city of Ocoee, you could still get a ticket if a red-light camera catches you.
City commissioners voted last night to keep enforcing those violations.
They were considering telling police not to enforce them after learning that 80 percent of the red-light camera tickets in their city were for rolling right turns on red.
But after talking with police, they found out the majority of the violations spotted by the cameras are thrown out because the driver rolled through the light at a slow speed.
“We want to make sure that there’s due diligence that we check every event for a violation and getting rid of that many is very positive to me. That means that program is working and that we’re only picking out the worst of the worst,” said Ocoee Police Chief Charles Brown
Stopping enforcement would also have cost the city about $800,000 a year in lost revenue.
This decision comes after the city of Clermont voted to scrap its camera program in 2017 because of similar concerns over the number of "right-turn-on-red" tickets.
