Red Light Camera (RLC) Infractions

Description

The City of Toronto Transportation Services maintains a dataset of the number of infractions at all red light cameras by year. Red light cameras automatically capture a photo of any vehicle entering the intersection after the signal changes to a red light. More information can be found here and here. The data is up to date to 2017.

Format: Comma Separated Values (CSV)

Relevance to the Vision Zero Challenge

Red light cameras are an enforcement measure that deters vehicles from entering and blocking the intersection during a red light. This program addresses distracted and aggressive driving, which is one of six emphasis groups outlined in the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan.
