Niagara Regional Council has approved the next step in its Vision Zero Road Safety initiative, providing the necessary authorities for the implementation of the Red Light Camera Program. The Region will begin the operation of 10 red light cameras across Niagara in the fall of this year. The introduction of red light cameras is the third major initiative of the Vision Zero Road Safety initiative to receive Council approval, beginning with the introduction of 13 community safety zones approved in 2019 and automated speed enforcement fully approved in 2022. Niagara Region is also currently developing its Road Safety Strategic Plan that in the coming months will seek to expand the Vision Zero Road Safety initiative further.The Region says the 10 red light camera locations were chosen based on the frequency and severity of collisions, the feasibility of camera installation, and the overall distribution of cameras geographically throughout the region.
In addition to the roll out of the Red Light Camera Program, Niagara Region will also be moving forward with its Automated Speed Enforcement Program in Community Safety Zones later this year.
