Stop on Red. Red Light Running.
It won't kill you to stop. But it might kill you if you don't.

The Engineering and Police Departments are working together

on a comprehensive program to reduce red light running

by employing Engineering, Enforcement and Education efforts. These efforts include strategically placed banners throughout Chula Vista; informational brochures, in English and Spanish; along with bumper stickers and window clings that our Police Department distributes at community events, DUI checkpoints and special enforcement events.
