A so-called “rolling right turn” on a red light can land you up to $400 in the hole, if you do it at the intersection of Powell and Christie Streets, in Emeryville.

Murietta city councilman Rick Gibbs put forth the idea as a way to convince drivers that safety, rather than greed, is the primary motivator for these cameras. East Bay cities — take note!
