York Region currently operates 40 red light cameras in high-traffic intersections in its nine municipalities, with 15 more to be added by 2026.
The cameras are helping to reduce right-angle and turning movement collisions by approximately 50 per cent, according to a regional report.
Expansion of the program would add five more cameras to select intersections each year between 2023 and 2026.
After a successful two-year pilot project, regional council also approved the continued use of automated speed enforcement and is expanding the program by adding two more mobile cameras by 2024 and 60 fixed cameras by 2026.
The pilot has one mobile automated speed enforcement camera rotating among 12 community safety zones, covering 19 schools including Newmarket High School, resulting in an improvement in speed compliance by more than 35 per cent.
The estimated cost in 2023 to operate three automated speed enforcement mobile cameras and 40 red light cameras is approximately $2 million per year.
The cost will increase by approximately $5 million each year with a total of 60 additional fixed cameras and 15 additional red light cameras between 2024 and 2026.
