CLOSE to 3,000 drivers were caught jumping red lights last year, a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Devon & Cornwall Police has revealed.

In 2025, 2,953 drivers were caught by fixed traffic light cameras, also known as red light cameras, the FOI request shows.

Last year’s figure was double that of 2024 when the number was 1,464.

The minimum penalty for running a red light is three points and a £100 fine.

Prosecution may occur where any part of a motor vehicle crosses the white line at a red traffic light.

Increased penalties may be imposed to reflect more severe offences.
