NJ RUNNING A RED LIGHT LAW

N.J.S.A. 39:4-105 provides:

Traffic signals or signal devices shall conform strictly
with the provisions of this article.

A three-color system shall be used; red, amber and green.
Green means permission for traffic to go, subject to the safety of others or
the specific directions of an officer, official sign or special signal. Red
means traffic to stop before entering the intersection or crosswalk and remain
standing until green is shown alone, unless otherwise specifically directed to
go by an officer, official sign or special signal. Amber, or yellow, when shown
alone following green means traffic to stop before entering the intersection or
nearest crosswalk, unless when the amber appears the vehicle or street car is
so close to the intersection that with suitable brakes it cannot be stopped in
safety. A distance of fifty feet from the intersection is considered a safe
stopping distance for a speed of twenty miles per hour, and vehicles and street
cars if within that distance when the amber appears alone, and which cannot be
stopped with safety, may proceed across the intersection or make a right or left
turn unless the turning movement is specifically limited.

All other uses of green, red, amber or yellow lights so
located as to be confused with traffic signals shall be discontinued.
