While Halton Region is a safe community, thousands of vehicles drive on Regional roads every day. When speaking with residents, they often mention the importance of road safety. I couldn't agree more -- it is essential we work together to keep the roads in our community safe. This year, Halton installed seven new red-light cameras across the region, bringing our total to 12 active red-light cameras. These cameras, which capture photo evidence of Halton drivers worry about getting into an accident when driving through an intersection. More than 60 per cent of drivers also reported seeing a near-miss accident as a result of someone running a red light. Keep our roads and residents safe -- stop at red lights. It's the law. To learn more about how red-light cameras work and how they help improve the safety of our intersections, please visit halton.ca/stoponred. Our police partners also have an excellent program called Halton Road Watch. If you see dangerous or aggressive driving, you can report it by completing an online form at haltonroadwatch.ca. Police will review the report and may send a letter to the registered owner of the vehicle reminding them to drive safely. If you have a passenger, ask for their help in writing down the licence plate number, so you can file a report. See it. Report it. Keep our roads safe. of anyone entering an intersection after a light has turned red, help remind people of the dangers associated with driving carelessly and also help deter the needless running of red lights.
