Red light traffic camera with mounted strobe lights. File. THUNDER BAY – Despite a strong recommendation from city administration, Thunder Bay’s city council isn’t quite ready to bring a red light camera system to the community.
Councillors voted Monday for more public consultation before committing to the system, a provincial program that uses sensors to automatically capture photos of drivers running red lights.
Images are sent to the Joint Processing Centre in Toronto for review, with tickets mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Fines for the offence run to $325, with a victim surcharge and court cost.
The camera program had reduced the number of serious accidents and fatalities in other Ontario cities where it was implemented, a review by city staff found. All 12 cities currently participating recouped program costs or made a profit through revenue from fines.
