In August 2004, the province of Ontario announced that interested municipalities would be able to operate red light cameras based on the positive findings of an evaluation into their safety effectiveness. The Region of Durham wished to explore the feasibility of implementing a red light camera program and particularly wanted to ensure that the sites were selected in an objective and defensible manner based on sound traffic engineering judgment. This paper discusses the development of site selection criteria, the identification of potential candidate locations using collision data, and further refinement of the list through a detailed office and field review.
