A yellow light signal to traffic that green movement is being terminated and that a red light will immediately follow. Under Connecticut law, motorists are required to stop when a signal controlling traffic switches to yellow, unless he or she cannot do so safely.
In an effort to detect red light runners, many states have enacted legislation regarding the use of automated enforcement technology. Connecticut legislators and law enforcement agencies are actively debating whether to permit the use of red light enforcement cameras. Currently, Connecticut law prohibits the use of these cameras in issuing violations to motorists.
