Red Light Photo Enforcement

Introduction

The District Office's primary function should be to insure that the local government follows the requirements of the Georgia Code and that the equipment is installed according to GDOT standards. Installation and operation of Red-Light-Running equipment shall comply with all State Laws including Title 40 Code Sections 40-6-20, 40-14-20, 40-14-21, 40-14-22, 40-14-23, 40-14-24, 40-14-25 and 40-14-26 of the Official Code of Georgia.
