Triumph,

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking but I believe the sequence is:

- light turns red
- if the sensors (called loop detectors) on the ground register the pressure equivalent to a vehicle it initiates the photo sequence
- smile

So no, the farther out in the intersection/past the crosswalk it is, the worse it is for the driver.

Again, I have no problem with the concept of red light running photo technology, just its improper deployment by some municipalities.
