th ei fp .c a Th e IF P -H al to n H ill s | T hu rs da y, A ug us t 2, 20 18 | 26 Red light camera in- fractions are more com- mon at certain intersec- tions in Halton than oth- ers, whether it be the na- ture of the intersection, the location itself, or the fact that some drivers may be unaware of the camera. Here are the top six locations in Halton where red light camera tickets have been issued from May 2017 to May 2018: 1) Guelph Line and South Service Road, Bur- lington (1,906 tickets) Note: Camera was in- stalled in late 2017 2) Trafalgar Road and Leighland Avenue/Iro- quois Shore Boulevard, Oakville (1,562 tickets) 3) Derry Road and James Snow Parkway, Mil- ton (1,496 tickets) 4) Guelph Line and Mountainside Drive and Davidson Court, Burling- ton (1,481 tickets) 5) Derry Road and Com- mercial Street/Santa Ma- ria Boulevard, Milton (1,228 tickets) Note: Cam- era was installed in late 2017 6) 10 Side Road and Ninth Line, Halton Hills (1,079 tickets) Where are the other Halton locations for red light cameras? Red light cameras are currently located at the following intersections: Burlington • Appleby Line and Mainway (718 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) • Brant Street and North Service Road (749 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) • Guelph Line and Up- per Middle Road (232 tick- ets from May 2017-May 2018) Halton Hills • Trafalgar Road and 5 Side Road (709 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) • 10 Side Road and Eighth Line (164 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) Note: Camera was in- stalled in late 2017 Milton • Derry Road and Onta- rio Street (641 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) • Derry Road and Tra- falgar Road (this camera is currently removed due to construction but will be replaced following com- pletion) • Derry Road and Savo- line Boulevard (555 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) Note: Camera was in- stalled in late 2017 Oakville • Trafalgar Road and Upper Middle Road (495 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) • Upper Middle Road and Oxford Avenue (753 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) • Upper Middle Road and Sixth Line (596 tickets from May 2017-May 2018) Note: Camera was in- stalled in late 2017 How do the red light cameras work? The cameras have the ability to function as soon as a traffic light turns red (drivers who enter an in- tersection during a traffic light's amber phase will not be penalized, even if the light turns red as they are passing through). The cameras scan the ap- proaching vehicles for any that appear to be moving at a speed not consistent with stopping, said Roger Browne, manager of traf- fic control and safety sys- tems for the City of Toron- to. The camera will take two time-stamped photo- graphs of the vehicle: one is taken as the vehicle ap- proaches the stop line and the second is taken as the vehicle moves through the intersection. The two im- ages are snapped less than one second apart. Vehicles making a left- hand turn during the red phase and vehicles mak- ing a right-hand turn, without stopping, during a red phase can also be is- sued a charge, he added. What happens once the photos are taken? Each set of photos is re- viewed by provincial of- fence officers at the Joint Municipal Processing Centre in Toronto, who are expected to follow a list of criteria to determine whether or not there is enough evidence for the red light camera charges to stand up in court, Browne said. He says the officers look for a variety of elements, including confirming the date and time on the image, making sure the licence plate is clear and legible, making sure the stop bar is visible and ensuring that the streets signs can be seen in the photo to verify the ve- hicle's location. If the image checks off in every category, the indi- vidual the vehicle is regis- tered under is mailed a fine. If it does not, charges cannot be issued. How are the red light camera locations cho- sen? The red light camera lo- cations are chosen based on the number of fatal and serious injury collisions that have occurred at those intersections in re- cent years. If a driver does get caught on red light cam- era, what's the penalty? The penalty for being caught by a red light cam- era is a $325 fine (no points). Drivers do have the ability to fight the charges in court. However, Browne says that due to the thoroughness of the of- ficers' review of the imag- es, fighting the ticket can backfire for others. He notes that for those who choose to take the court route, there is always the possibility the fine amount will be raised.
