Intersection safety cameras

Most crashes in British Columbia happen at intersections. To reduce injuries and save lives, B.C. installs intersection safety cameras – sometimes called red light cameras – at intersections where crashes occur frequently.

B.C.’s Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) program is an automated enforcement initiative designed to reduce motor vehicle crashes at intersections and the subsequent injuries and fatalities. This program is a partnership between the Province, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and has been in operation since 1999. The ISC program operates 140 digital cameras installed at high-risk intersections throughout B.C. to enforce red light running offences; 35 of these cameras also enforce speeding violations.

Warning signs let drivers know the intersection has cameras. Stopping for red lights and observing the speed limits helps to reduce collisions, injuries, and fatalities.

You weren't driving?

Violation tickets are issued to a vehicle's registered owner. The owner may not have been the driver when the violation took place. Even so, they are responsible for paying or disputing the ticket.
