- Typical fine
- Roughly $100–$220
- License points
- 50 points (red light / stop sign)

Frequently asked questions
How many points is running a red light in Utah?
Fifty points under the Driver License Division schedule — the same for a stop sign. One ticket won't suspend you, but 200 points in three years will, so a couple of violations stack up quickly.
Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a Utah red light ticket?
Often yes. The attorney fee is typically less than the three-year insurance increase, and attorneys in our network can push for an amendment or plea in abeyance that keeps the violation off your record entirely.
Does Utah use red light cameras?
Utah law effectively prohibits automated photo-radar and camera enforcement in almost all situations, so red light tickets in Utah are nearly always written by an officer — which means they're standard moving violations you can contest.
What defenses exist for a red light charge?
Common angles include the officer's vantage point, yellow-light timing, and whether you entered the intersection before the light changed. Even without a trial defense, negotiation to a lesser or dismissed charge is the usual path.
