NB red light cameras

A bid to install red-light cameras at major intersections in various New Brunswick municipalities may soon be at the provincial government’s door.

Officials plan to ask the government to amend the Motor Vehicle Act, making it legal to use the cameras.

A 2015 pilot project using red-light cameras in Fredericton over a 36-hour period caught almost 45 hundred drivers breaking the law, by speeding or running a red light.

That data has been shared with Miramichi, Campbellton; and other communities.
