How to Drive Chicago: Turning Right on Red

8. Drive.  Turning right on a red light. Never do it if there’s a camera at the intersection. I don’t care if there’s no sign prohibiting it (which would make it legal).  I’ve gotten photo tickets via mail for making the turn notwithstanding there being no “no turn on red” warning. I went back to the intersections and snapped photos to prove the lack of a prohibiting sign and sent them to the city. They did not care.

Cityofchicago.org states Red Light Cameras do not take pictures of vehicles legally turning right on red after a complete stop—as required by law—

I think that’s a load of poppycock.

Do not turn right on a red light if there’s a camera no matter what.
