The city of London has approved a plan to increase the number of red-light cameras from 10 to 25.
The main goal of the plan is to make London roads safer by reducing the number of collisions.
Here are the locations of the 15 new red-light cameras coming to London:
- Wharncliffe Road South and Commissioners Road
- Commissioners Road and Wonderland Road South
- Veterans Memorial Parkway and Dundas Street
- Wellington Road South and Exeter Road
- Fanshawe Park Road East and Adelaide Street North
- Fanshawe Park Road West and Aldersbrook Gate
- Richmond Street and Fanshawe Park Road
- Hamilton Road at Highbury Ave North
- Oxford Street at Richmond Street*
- Oxford Street East at Talbot Street
- Wharncliffe Road North and Oxford Street West
- Western Road and Sarnia Road
- Sarnia Road at Wonderland Road North
- Wharncliffe Road South and Southdale Road East
- Southdale Road West at Wonderland Road South
“More red-light cameras help limit dangerous driving behaviours at more locations in our city, and address a widespread community concern,” said Mayor Josh Morgan in a statement.
The city says that motorists running red lights accounted for 507 collisions in 2023 in London. They also say that the number of collisions involving injuries and fatalities have reduced by around 40% since the Red Light Camera Program was launched in 2017.
It has not been announced when the cameras will be installed and active.
