Red Light & Stop Sign Ticket Lawyer in Pennsylvania

Frequently asked questions
Do Philadelphia red light camera tickets add points?
No — Pennsylvania automated red light enforcement tickets are $100 civil penalties against the vehicle owner with no points and no insurance reporting. An officer-issued ticket is completely different: 3 points and a record entry.
Can a red light ticket be knocked down to a no-point offense?
Often yes. A common outcome is amending the signal violation to a non-pointed summary offense, which keeps your PennDOT record clean. Attorneys in our network handle that negotiation with the officer or prosecutor.
Is a stop sign ticket treated the same as a red light in PA?
Both are 3-point moving violations under the Vehicle Code with similar fines, and both respond to the same defense playbook — negotiation first, evidentiary challenge if needed.
What happens if I just mail in the fine?
That's a guilty plea: 3 points on your PennDOT record and three years of insurance surcharges. The math almost always favors contesting it.
