The City of Windsor is adding 10 new red light cameras in the city.
A red light running camera is a type of traffic enforcement camera that captures an image of a vehicle that enters an intersection in spite of the traffic signal indicating red (during red phase).
The camera automatically takes two photos of the vehicle: one entering and one proceeding through the intersection. The photo is evidence that assists authorities to enforce traffic laws. Generally, the camera is triggered by movement of a vehicle as it passes the stop bar after the associated signal has turned red.
According to a post on the city’s website, the key reasons why municipalities have installed red light cameras are to change driver behaviour, reduce angled collisions and increase safety.
In the fall of 2021, the City of Windsor began operating red light cameras at 10 intersections throughout the city. Locations were selected based on recorded collisions and the geometric configuration and ability of the cameras to be installed.
The new red light cameras are being installed this spring.
