Hello Vancouverites, you may have heard about an upcoming motion in Vancouver council that calls for the installation of speed and red light cameras at more of the city's high-crash intersections. On average there are 22 car crashes resulting in death/injury in the city every day. This is a public safety and public health crisis, and automated enforcement with speed and red light cameras is an effective and efficient way to make roads safer.

The motion will be considered on Wednesday, November 1st. You can help by expressing support either by emailing or speaking to council. Here's our guide for doing so: https://visionzerovancouver.ca/intersection-safety-cameras/

Thank you for taking action for safer streets. Share the page and encourage other people you know to do the same!

I do agree, we need more creative ideas to reduce dangerous road behaviour...

The Feu de ralentissement éducatif project in Brossard, Québec I thought was a good idea, but had to be scrapped days after as the provincial ministry of transport wasn't consulted and the direction to "slow down on red" would be confusing.

I would imagine that if the light turned red, it's pretty self explanatory. This smells like people just wanting to do whatever they want at whatever the cost to whomever may have to pay it.
