More red light cameras coming to Windsor

The City of Windsor could be installing 10 additional red light cameras throughout the city.

There are currently 10 intersections in the city monitored by red light cameras.

1. Wyandotte Street East @ Goyeau

2. Wyandotte Street @ Ouellette Avenue

3. Howard Avenue @ EC Row E/B Off Ramp

4. University Avenue West @ Crawford Avenue

5. McHugh Street @ Clover Avenue

6. Giles Blvd @ Ouellette Avenue

7. Seminole Street @ Central Avenue

8. Erie Street East @ Goyeau Street

9. Huron Church Road @ Tecumseh Road West

10. Eugenie Street East @ McDougall Avenue

The cameras were first installed in February 2022.

In 2023, there were 6,141 tickets issued bringing in a total revenue of $1,009,138.

In a report to Windsor City Council, the administration recommends increasing the amount of cameras in the city to curb bad driving behaviour and reduce accidents in the city.

Currently, only 3 per cent of signalized intersections have red light cameras.

The location of any new cameras would be selected through analyzing collision data and consultations with the Windsor Police Service.

The report to be presented to Windsor City Council on Monday is currently on the Consent Agenda.
