It is never a good idea to run an intersection red light, but now, thanks to the provincial government, police and ICBC, it鈥檚 an especially poor choice at two 91原创 intersections where digital intersection cameras have just been installed to catch bad drivers in the act.

The cameras went up Friday, July 8 at the 88 Avenue - 208 Street and the Highway 10 - Fraser Highway intersections, both considered high-risk for crashes.

Two more cameras will go live at other 91原创 locations by the end of the year.

鈥淭hese cameras are a great deterrent for reckless drivers who put the lives and safety of others at risk,鈥� said Fort 91原创-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

鈥淭he additional cameras announced today will help us reduce accidents and save lives,鈥� said 91原创 MLA Mary Polak.

There鈥檚 nothing secret about the cameras.

Signs have been prominently posted at the intersections to advise drivers that ISC (Intersection Safety Camera) cameras are in place.

Plans call for installation of 140 cameras at high-collision locations around the province.

Every day, on average, ICBC says about 250 crashes occur at intersections in B.C.

They are often more serious because they involve high speed and right angle or t-bone crashes.

More than 40 per cent of police-attended accidents occur at intersections.
