“Enforcement will focus on the fastest vehicles at these locations, whether they are passing through on a green, yellow or red light. “The analysis of speed and crash data is still underway to inform the decisions around that aspect of the project,” the ministry said in a statement.
Intersection cameras are now being used to gauge speeders, but the threshold for issuing speeding tickets has not yet been determined. The ministry reports that more tickets are being issued since the operation of the cameras has been extended, but statistics won’t be available until an annual report is compiled this fall.įarnworth emphasized that the change is not a return to photo radar, a system of cameras in unmarked vans that was ended in 2001.

“The full activation of these cameras is overdue and an important step for safety on some of our busiest roadways.” “Last year we saw a record 350,000 crashes in B.C., with about 60 per cent of them happening at intersections,” said B.C. They now run continuously, recording speeding and red light violations. The cameras had been activated for six hours a day during high traffic times.
government struggles with accident and injury claims that have pushed ICBC rates up in recent years. Intersection cameras are now operational 24 hours a day at 140 high-crash intersections around B.C., issuing tickets for running red lights.
