Four more Intersection Safety Cameras have gone live in Richmond as a part of a joint effort on behalf of the police, provincial government and ICBC to curb accidents at intersections.
That brings the total of intersections in Richmond equipped with ISCs to eight.
"Every day on average, about 250 crashes occur at intersections in B.C., so we all need to use extra caution when approaching intersections. Set an example by making smart driving decisions - it can have a significant influence on others," said Fiona Temple, ICBC's director of road safety.
According to ICBC, over 40 per cent of police-attended accidents occur at intersections. And accidents at intersections are often more serious because they involve high speed and right angle or t-bone crashes.
"We're sending a clear message with the ISC program. Dangerous drivers will not get away with putting others at risk," said Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap.
