What a red light & stop sign ticket costs in Michigan
| Typical fine | $100–$250 including court costs |
|---|---|
| License points | 3 points (disobeying a traffic signal or stop sign) |
| Insurance impact | A signal violation is a standard moving violation to insurers — expect a multi-year surcharge on already-high Michigan premiums. |
| License risk | Counts toward the 12-point threshold that triggers Secretary of State reexamination. |
Frequently asked questions
Three points on your Secretary of State record, the same as a stop sign violation. Both stay on your record for two years and are visible to insurers.
No — Michigan law does not authorize red light camera enforcement, so a signal ticket in Michigan means an officer observed the alleged violation. That also means the officer's account can be challenged.
Often. We connect you with a licensed Michigan attorney who can negotiate the charge down to a lower-point or no-point infraction, or contest it at a formal hearing if the evidence is weak.
Paying admits responsibility: 3 points go on your record and insurers surcharge you for years. Contesting it usually costs less than the total insurance increase.
