Summary

Woodbridge adopted § 3-45 in 2008 to run red-light cameras under New Jersey's statewide pilot program, with fines of $85 plus a $10 late fee. The state pilot authorizing the cameras expired December 16, 2014, so the ordinance's enforcement mechanism is no longer operative even though the chapter remains in the printed code.

The Township of Woodbridge hereby determines to install and utilize a traffic control signal monitoring system ("System") at various intersections within the Township of Woodbridge as approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation pursuant to the Act. ... Any person liable for a traffic control signal violation pursuant to this section and the Act, shall be subject to the following fines: Violation $85.00 Late Fee $10.00

Full Breakdown

L. 2007, c. 348, and required Municipal Council approval by resolution plus warning signs approved by the Municipal Engineer at each converging street, inspected and certified at least every six months. 4 restricted use of the images to the Police Department, barred their release as a public record except by grand jury subpoena or criminal court order, required deletion within 60 days of collecting a fine, and required deletion within two business days if no summons issued within 40 business days. 5 made vehicle owner and operator liability joint.

00 late fee. New Jersey's enabling statute was only a five-year pilot, however: the state's authorization for automated red-light enforcement at all 73 participating intersections statewide, including Woodbridge's cameras at Route 1 and Avenel Street, lapsed on December 16, 2014, and was not renewed by the Legislature. The chapter remains printed in the Township Code but has no live camera enforcement behind it absent new state authorization.

Violations & Fines

While the program operated, a captured violation carried an $85 fine plus a $10 late fee, billed under joint owner/operator liability. Recorded images had to be purged within 60 days of paying the fine, or within two business days if no summons issued within 40 business days. No new violations can currently be issued because the underlying state pilot authorization expired in 2014.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Woodbridge still issue red-light camera tickets?
No. Although § 3-45 remains in the Township Code, New Jersey's statewide pilot program authorizing automated red-light enforcement expired December 16, 2014, and was never renewed by the Legislature, so Woodbridge's cameras, including the one at Route 1 and Avenel Street, have no live legal authority.
How much was the fine for a Woodbridge red-light camera violation?
Section 3-45.6 set the fine at $85.00 per violation with an additional $10.00 late fee, and § 3-45.5 made both the vehicle's owner and operator jointly liable for paying it under New Jersey's pilot-program statute.
Who reviewed the red-light camera footage in Woodbridge?
Section 3-45.3 gave the Woodbridge Police Department sole responsibility for reviewing recorded images from the system and deciding whether to issue a summons, and § 3-45.4 barred anyone else from accessing the footage except by grand jury subpoena or court order.
How long could Woodbridge keep red-light camera recordings?
Section 3-45.4 required deleting recorded images within 60 days after a fine was collected, or within two business days if no summons was issued within 40 business days of the recorded violation, whichever situation applied to that specific captured incident.
