Nanaimo’s two red-light cameras now working 24/7
Nanaimo’s two red-light cameras are now working around the clock to catch dangerous drivers.
The cameras, on the Island Hwy. at Aulds Rd. and at Norwell Dr., are now active 24-hours-a-day. They were previously only used in six-hour shifts daily.
“For too long, cameras with a proven record of curbing red-light runners and the serious crashes they cause were not operating at full capacity,” Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said. “The full activation of these cameras is overdue and an important step for safety on some of our busiest roadways.”
The province announced the transition to increased monitoring in September of last year but the 24-hour change wasn’t put into effect until the end of July.
