This week, Niagara Region is relocating eight automated speed enforcement cameras to new community safety zones.
- Grimsby – Main Street East between Lawrence Avenue and Durham Road
- Niagara Falls – McLeod Road between Oakwood Drive and Drummond Road; Montrose Road between Watson Street and Lundy’s Lane
- Port Colborne – Killaly Street West between West Side Road and King Street
- St. Catharines – Lakeshore Road between Bradmon Drive and Read Road; Louth Street between Rykert Street and Pelham Road
- Welland – Prince Charles Drive North between Lacy Avenue and First Avenue
- West Lincoln – Station Street between Spring Creek Road and West Street
These cameras will remain in their new spots until the end of April.
Originally implemented as part of Niagara’s Vision Zero initiative, which aims to reduce serious injuries and fatalities on the roads, the cameras were first installed at the start of the school year in September 2023.
Over the past four months, they have issued over 15,000 tickets, with the average fine amounting to just under $125.
