Can you pay a red light ticket online?

Many cities allow citizens to pay red light tickets online, including Chicago, Philadelphia and Dallas. In the state of Washington, receiving a red light ticket from a camera is akin to receiving a parking ticket, so no points go on the person's record after paying it, states Seattle.gov.

To pay a red light ticket in Chicago, citizens can visit the City of Chicago's official site and search for their violations by ticket number, license plate number, notice number or driver's license number. In Philadelphia, a citizen must have both a citation number and the PIN located on the physical copy of the violation, notes the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
