Red light camera usage is extensive in mainland China. {{as of |2007}}, approximately 700 intersections in [[Shenzhen]] were monitored for red light violations, speeding, or both.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=He|first1=Jie|last2=King|first2=Mark|last3=Watson|first3=Barry|last4=Rakotonirainy|first4=Andry|last5=Fleiter|first5=Judy|date=January 2013|title=Speed enforcement in China: National, provincial and city initiatives and their success|journal=Accident Analysis & Prevention|language=en|volume=50|pages=282–8|doi=10.1016/j.aap.2012.04.017|pmid=22579218}}</ref>

China also has red light camera with facial recognition. Red light offenders, either pedestrian or motorbikers, are captured by a 7 megapixel camera. Within 20 minutes, a [[facial recognition system]] identifies personal information including family name, ID number and address which are displayed in the street on an advertising screen. This information can also be published on social media.<ref name="outride1">{{cite web | title=China Is Using Facial Recognition To Catch Jaywalkers | website=Outriders | date=2018-10-25 | url=https://outride.rs/en/china-is-using-facial-recognition-to-catch-jaywalkers/}}</ref>

According to the owner, in less than four months, in [[Lianhua intersection in Shenzhen]], [[jaywalking]] were reduced from 1000 each day to 80.<ref name="outride1"/>

====Hong Kong====

Hong Kong introduced red light cameras in 1993.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web | url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-crime/article/1925831/traffic-deaths-rise-hong-kong-gets-40-new-red-light-cameras |title = With traffic deaths on the rise, Hong Kong gets 40 new red light cameras|date = 2016-03-16}}</ref>

In Hong Kong, where red light cameras are installed, signs are erected to warn drivers that cameras are present, with the aim of educating drivers to stop for signals.<ref name=Delfino>{{cite news |title=Warning for red light jumpers |author=Brendan Delfino |newspaper=The South China Morning Post |location=Hong Kong |date=27 September 1996 |page=8}}</ref> The number of red light cameras in Hong Kong doubled in May 2004, and digital red light cameras were introduced at intersections identified by the police and transport department as having the most violations and greatest risk. The digital cameras were introduced to further deter red-light running. As added assistance to drivers, some of the camera posts were painted orange so that drivers could see them more easily.<ref name=Michael/> By 2006, Hong Kong had 96 red light cameras in operation.<ref name=HongKong>{{cite news |title=Red light jumping accidents fall in Hong Kong |newspaper=Xinhua General News Service |date=23 December 2006}}</ref> By 2016 this number had risen to 195.<ref>{{cite web|title=New red light cameras in operation today|url=http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201603/16/P201603160311.htm|publisher=Hong Kong Government|date=16 March 2016}}</ref>

In Hong-Kong, penalty for the failure to comply with traffic signals is a HK$5,000 fine and three months' jail for a first offense. Penalty for other offenses are a HK$10,000 penalty and six-month term.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

In Hong-Kong, red light cameras helped reduce violation jumping by 43 to 55%.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

In France, red light cameras started use in 2009. Cameras catch drivers that fail to stop on a red light.<ref>{{cite web | title=Passage à l'orange et radar feu rouge : quel risque ? | website=Stages Points Permis | url=https://www.stagespointspermis.fr/636-l-points-de-permis-radar-feu-rouge-flash-orange.html | language=fr }}</ref> A removal of 4 points on the driving licence will occur.<ref name="fonctionnement1">{{cite web | title=Infographie – Fonctionnement du radar feu rouge et risque | website=Mutuelle Assurance MMA | url=https://www.mma.fr/zeroblabla/infographie-fonctionnement-radars-feu-rouge.html | language=fr}}</ref>

Some insurance companies recommend to comply with regulation to avoid the fine. This implies a speed decrease when approaching a red light, considering it can switch to orange and then to red, avoiding acceleration when light is orange, using the brake (which turn on braking light) to communicate to followers the braking action, and keep the car before the red light stop line.<ref name="fonctionnement1"/>

In the south east quarter of [https://www.mutuelles-pour-seniors.fr/mutuelle-ile-de-france France], red light cameras (MESTA 3000) are provided by [[Safran]]; their availability rate is 95%, taking into account road works and acts of vandalism. This availability is considered better than the one observed in Great Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany according to a French National Assembly report.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.itsinternational.com/categories/enforcement/features/enforcement-suppliers-highlight-industry-best-practice/ | title=Enforcement suppliers highlight industry best practice}}</ref>

===Germany===

The first red light camera in Germany was operated in November 1960 the 15th in [[Frankfurt am Main]] with black and white photos.{{cn|date=August 2023}}

Red light violations result in a fine of €90, and one penalty point is recorded on the driver's license . If the light has been red for more than one second when the violation occurs, the fine increases to €200, with two penalty points, and the offender's driving license is suspended for one month. In cases of immediate danger, the fine can rise to €320, or to €360 if a crash occurs. A stop line violation incurs a fine of only €10. 

If a driver in their probationary period runs a red light and is caught by a red-light camera, they are required to attend a compulsory retraining seminar (Aufbauseminar). Additionally, the probationary period is extended from two to four years. <ref>{{Cite web |title=An der roten Ampel geblitzt: Konsequenzen bei Rotlichtverstoß |url=https://www.hopkins.law/expertise/rote-ampel-geblitzt#rote-ampel-blitzer-in-der-probezeit |access-date=2024-12-16 |website=www.hopkins.law |language=de}}</ref>

Also known as "snitch tickets," these notices are used to request identifying information about the driver of the vehicle during the alleged violation. Because these notices have not been filed at court, they carry no legal weight and the registered owner is under no obligation to respond. In California, a genuine ticket will bear the name and address of the local branch of the Superior Court and direct the recipient to contact that court. In contrast, a ''notice of traffic violation'' generated by the police will omit court information, using statements like "This is not a notice to appear" and "Do not forward this information to the Court."<ref name="Highwayrobbery">{{cite web|url=http://highwayrobbery.net/redlightcamsticket.htm#Fakes |title=Red Light Cameras in California |publisher=Highwayrobbery.net |access-date=2020-02-24}}</ref><ref name="losangeles.cbslocal.com">{{cite web | title=Are Police Tricking People Into Paying 'Snitch' Tickets? | website=CBS Los Angeles | date=2011-02-13 | url=https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/02/13/goldstein-investigation-are-police-tricking-people-into-paying-snitch-tickets/ |first=David |last=Goldstein}}</ref><ref name="The Right To Remain Silent">{{cite web |url=http://www.almanacnews.com/news/show_story.php?id=10022 |title=The Right To Remain Silent |publisher=almanacnews.com |access-date=18 November 2011 |date=8 November 2011}}</ref><ref name="handelonthelaw.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.handelonthelaw.com/home/law-articles/traffic-moving-violations-articles/red-light-camera-tickets---something-consumers-should-know.html |title=Something Every Consumer Should Know |publisher=HandelontheLaw.com |access-date=18 November 2011 |date=27 March 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121204183719/http://www.handelonthelaw.com/home/law-articles/traffic-moving-violations-articles/red-light-camera-tickets---something-consumers-should-know.html |archive-date=2012-12-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In September 2014, a bill was proposed in New Jersey to disallow the state Motor Vehicle Commission from sharing license plate and driver information needed to cite New Jersey drivers accused of committing infractions in another state.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bill A3527|url=http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A4000/3527_I1.HTM|publisher=State of New Jersey|access-date=19 September 2014}}</ref>

While the number of red light cameras decreased from 533 in 2012 to 421 in 2018, people killed in red-light crashes increased from 696 in 2012 to 811 in 2016, reflecting a 17% increase.<ref>{{cite web | title=Red-Light-Running Fatalities Increase 17% in Four Years | website=Automotive Fleet | date=July 24, 2018 | url=https://www.automotive-fleet.com/308180/red-light-running-fatalities-increase-17-in-four-years}}</ref>

The reasons for the red light camera discontinuation were reduction in camera citations, difficulty sustaining the financial viability of the program and intense community opposition.<ref name="autogenerated2"/>

In the USA, surveys indicate the public support for red light camera enforcement; however, the support is decreasing if programs are not adequate, or if perception is focused on revenue rather than on saving lives.
To be successful, a red light camera should focus on safety and transparency, as well as be located in a problematic intersection which needs to be assessed by communities (for instance, for road design and signal timing). It could also take into account public input with stakeholders such as law enforcement, victim advocates, school officials and residents to plan a program.<ref name="autogenerated2"/>

===Singapore===
In 2014 Singapore started to use German Jenoptik red light cameras, with an 11-megapixel resolution. 240 streets have red light cameras in Singapore.<ref>{{cite web | title=5 Different Types of Traffic Cameras in Singapore | website=ETHOZ | date=2019-04-04 | url=https://www.ethozgroup.com/blog/5-different-types-of-traffic-cameras-in-singapore/}}</ref>

===New South Wales===

In New South Wales red light cameras were introduced in April 1982 <ref>{{cite book |last1=Hulscher |first1=Frank |title=A Signal Career |date=1993 |publisher=Roads and Traffic Authority |location=Sydney |page=133}}</ref> followed by speed cameras in 2009.<ref name="autogenerated3">{{cite web |url=https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/downloads/2017-speed-camera-review.pdf |title=Speed Camera Programs: 2017 Annual Review |website=roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au |date=May 2018}}</ref>

In New South Wales there are 191 cameras at 171 intersection. These camera can check both the red light and the speed<ref name="autogenerated3"/>

During the period of observations were:
* 33% reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes
* 54% reduction in fatalities
* 35% reduction in serious injuries
* 49% reduction in pedestrian casualties.<ref name="autogenerated3"/>
