What a red light & stop sign ticket costs in Oregon
| Typical fine | $265 presumptive (Class B violation) |
|---|---|
| License points | No points — counts as one violation toward Oregon's Driver Improvement Program |
| Insurance impact | A failure-to-obey-a-traffic-control-device conviction reads as a moving violation to insurers — expect a 10–20% premium increase for about three years. |
| License risk | Adds one violation to your Driver Improvement Program count — 4 in 24 months brings a restriction. |
Frequently asked questions
Failure to obey a traffic control device (ORS 811.265) is a Class B violation with a presumptive fine of $265. Stop sign violations are charged similarly.
Photo red light tickets are legal in Oregon cities like Portland and Beaverton and go on your record like any other conviction if you don't contest them — but they often have proof weaknesses (driver identity, signage) an attorney can exploit.
Frequently the charge can be reduced to a lesser violation class or dismissed when the evidence is thin — for example if the officer's view of the light was obstructed or the yellow interval was mistimed.
Paying is a conviction: it feeds Oregon's violation count toward a restriction and shows up to your insurer for three years. The attorney fee is usually less than the insurance increase alone.
