Red light cameras improving traffic safety
Posted on Thursday, November 24, 2022 03:01 PM
Red light cameras have been installed at select locations throughout Durham Region to reduce T-bone collisions at intersections on Durham Regional roads.
Red light running has the potential to cause serious injury or death for both the offending driver and innocent victims. The Region’s collision records database shows 534 collisions over a three-and-a-half-year period at signalized intersections where the cause was specifically attributed to a driver disobeying traffic control signals. Durham Region...

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 6, creating darker commuting hours that affect visibility on roadways. Our collision data shows that the highest number of pedestrian and cyclist-involved collisions take place between October and December. Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists need to be vigilant and safe on the road as darkness comes earlier.
The following tips for roadway users will help improve safety for everyone:

Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras - Slow down and drive safely!
Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2022 10:47 AM
Speed is a contributing factor in approximately one-third of fatal collisions. Reducing speed is the best way to reduce both the frequency and severity of collisions in our community.
To help reduce speeds, Durham Region has Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras in some school zones and designated Community Safety Zones on Regional Roads.
ASE helps improve road user safety by increasing speed compliance, altering driver behaviour and increasing public awareness about the critical need to slow...
