I noticed an 18 wheeler with a long trailer running a red light at a camera intersection but I didn't see the camera flash. Got me to wondering if the cameras might not be able to take a picture because the rigs are too long? Looks like at some intersections the big rig extends from one white line to the other.
Any big rig driver's here ever get a ticket from a red light camera?
Cameras Still Work
A red light or speed camera doesn't know what kind of vehicle has tripped the magnetic sensors in the road. They may not get a good shot at the trailer license but they'll definitely get a picture of the front of the truck and the license plate.
A guess. When you saw the truck one of two things may have happened. It 'did' make it into the intersection before the light went red or the camera wasn't in operation at the time.

Busses are not as long, but close.

No front view camera

There are no front view cameras around here! I don't care about this particular incident but I am just wondering about the long trailer.
