Hello Vancouverites, you may have heard about an upcoming motion in Vancouver council that calls for the installation of speed and red light cameras at more of the city’s high-crash intersections. On average there are 22 car crashes resulting in death/injury in the city every day. This is a public safety and public health crisis, and automated enforcement with speed and red light cameras is an effective and efficient way to make roads safer.

The motion will be considered on Wednesday, November 1st. You can help by expressing support either by emailing or speaking to council. Here’s our guide for doing so: https://visionzerovancouver.ca/intersection-safety-cameras/

Thank you for taking action for safer streets. Share the page and encourage other people you know to do the same!

    the cameras are just going to sit there and document

    Thankfully it looks like in many cities the observed effect is more than just documentation, it’s a tangible reduction in injuries. But to be honest, if the only thing we got from cameras was documentation, that’s already a good thing? These pay for themselves so at least we’d get more accountability and justice.
