NEWARK — State motorists who feel they were wrongly ticketed by a red light camera may be eligible for a refund, according to a preliminary settlement filed today.

The Associated Press reports that the Arizona-based American Traffic Solutions will set up a $4.2 million fund to pay plaintiffs in a suit that alleges motorists tagged by the company's cameras were not given ample time to apply the brakes, according to a preliminary settlement filed today.

The company isn’t admitting any wrongdoing or liability.

Anyone who was ticketed before August 2012 in any of 18 towns and paid the $85 fine would be eligible to receive money back, but a judge must approve the agreement, the AP reports.

The towns are Brick, Deptford, East Brunswick, East Windsor, Jersey City, Lawrence, Linden, Glassboro, Gloucester Township, Monroe, Palisades Park, Piscataway, Pohatcong, Rahway, Roselle Park, Union, Wayne and Woodbridge.
