Intersection Safety Camera program
Helping to change dangerous driver behaviours at high-risk intersections across B.C.
Program update
Intersections are where most crashes on B.C. roads occur. To help make roads safer, ICBC is investing in updating intersection safety cameras at all 140 locations across the province. The current cameras are nearing the end of their service life and are being updated with modern technology so the program can continue helping reduce dangerous driving behaviours and prevent crashes for years to come. The work is underway and is expected to be completed by spring 2027.
Some locations may require minor road or sidewalk work to install new poles and wiring. ICBC and its partners are engaging municipalities to coordinate replacement activities and minimize impacts to road users.

More about the program
Since 1999, the Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) program has been a partnership between the B.C. government, police and ICBC, helping improve road safety at intersections across the province. The program includes 140 camera locations that target red-light running and speeding, with sites selected based on the type, severity and frequency of crashes.
The goal of the ISC program is to help prevent serious crashes and injuries, and it remains one of several road safety initiatives that support safer roads and communities throughout B.C.
Camera locations are publicly available, and signs are posted at each site to provide advance notice of enforcement. This helps encourage drivers to slow down and make safer decisions before reaching the intersection.
Speeding
Thirty-five intersection safety cameras can identify and ticket drivers travelling at unsafe speeds through an intersection on a red, yellow or green light.

ISC violation ticket
A ticket is issued only if there is clear evidence the vehicle ran a red light or entered an intersection well over the posted limit - on a red, yellow or green light. If you've received a ticket for running a red light or speeding through an intersection, find out how to pay or dispute the ticket.
If an ISC violation ticket is neither paid nor disputed, an Enforcement Officer with the Road Safety Enforcement Program will physically serve the ticket at the residential address of the vehicle's registered owner, or if it's a leased vehicle, the lessee. Certified Enforcement Officers can provide Government of British Columbia photo identification upon request.
The B.C. government will transfer 100 percent of net revenue from traffic violations to municipalities that are directly responsible for paying for policing. This provides municipalities additional funds to support community safety and address local policing priorities.
