In 2021, KPD issued nearly 44,000 red light tickets. That's enough for about 1 in 4 Knoxvillians.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — It's never a good time to open your mailbox and find a $50 red light camera ticket. 

Some people get these tickets more than others, but the Knoxville Police Department issued 43,920 of them in 2021.

That's up from 36,715 red light camera citations in 2020 and 38,246 issued in 2019.

You can find a red light camera on 19 intersections across Knoxville. Those are listed here.
