Ten red light cameras to begin operation in Niagara this fall

The Niagara Region is continuing with a plan to install red light cameras. 

Council has approved the next step in its Vision Zero Road Safety initiative as it looks to implement the Red Light Camera. 

The cameras are part of the Region's plan to improve road safety. 

The following locations were chosen based on the frequency and severity of crashes, the feasibility of camera installation and the overall distribution of cameras throughout the region.

Fort Erie

  • Garrison Road (Regional Road 3) at Pettit Road / Daytona Drive

Grimsby

  • Christie Street (Regional Road 12) at South Service Road (Regional Road 40)

Lincoln

  • Ontario Street (Regional Road 18) at South Service Road (Regional Road 40)

Pelham/West Lincoln

  • Highway 20 (Regional Road 20) at Victoria Avenue (Regional Road 24)

Niagara Falls

  • Lundy’s Lane (Regional Road 20) at Garner Road
  • Stanley Avenue (Regional Road 102) at Dunn Street

St. Catharines

  • St. Paul Street West (Regional Road 81) at First Street Louth
  • Niagara Street (Regional Road 48) at Parnell Road

Welland

  • Prince Charles Drive (Regional Road 54) at Lincoln Street (Regional Road 29)
  • Niagara Street (Regional Road 50) at Quaker Road

According to the Niagara Region, between 2018 and 2022 there were 1,078 angle crashes at intersections with traffic lights. 

In addition to the Red Light Camera Program, the Niagara region will move ahead with its Automated Speed Enforcement Program in Community Safety Zones later this year.

"Niagara Region continues to take important measures to improve road safety. The addition of red light cameras to our Vision Zero Road Safety initiative provides yet another effective tool to help slow down drivers and reduce dangerous collisions on our roadways." ~ Jim Bradley, Niagara Regional Chair
