Cameras could be installed at 50-plus intersections in Victoria.
The City of Victoria will ask the province to consider funding red-light and speed cameras at dozens of intersections around the city.
Coun. Chris Coleman noted adding cameras, while a reactive measure, could be a useful tool to make significant change. But that could cost a pretty penny, with the cost of installing one camera at $190,520, and the average cost to operate tabbed at about $11,000 a year. In a statement, the Transportation Ministry said that more than 1,400 intersections were examined as part of a site analysis for the program and the camera locations were selected based upon several risk factors including crash frequency, crash severity, crash type, and the potential for improvement at the site.
