Running red lights and running stop signs are a civil infraction within Florida. Civil infractions are essentially below the level of criminal in terms of offense to the state, and is governed by section 316.074 , Florida Statutes. Running a red light is four (4) points on a drivers license while running a stop sign is only three (3) points. If you were to cut through a parking lot to avoid a red light, as would be quite common in Jacksonville, you could be found guilty of 316.074(2), and also get 3 points on your license.
