The Red Light Camera (RLC) program is a traffic safety measure in support of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. It detects and captures images of vehicles that have entered an intersection in spite of the traffic signal indicating red (during the red phase).
RLC is intended to enhance road safety by:
The selection of the specific sites have been determined using a data-driven approach which involves a thorough analysis of collision data. The Site Selection Process includes an evaluation of signalized intersections that considers angle collisions, Killed or Serious Injury (KSI) collisions, Vulnerable Road User collisions, and requests from police, councillors and the public.
A list of intersections where a RLC has been installed is available on the City of Toronto website. To submit a request for RLC, please fill in the online form.
RLC units capture images of offending vehicles (including rear license plates) once the vehicle enters an intersection after the traffic signal turns red.
All images from RLC systems are reviewed by a Provincial Offences Officer who has been designated by the Province of Ontario. The Provincial Offences Officer reviews whether or not a vehicle has entered an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red, and if confirmed, issues a Penalty Order (violation notice) to the registered plate owner, regardless of who was driving.
No demerit points will be issued and there is no impact on the recipient's driving record. Fines are established by the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. RLC violation notices will be issued within 23 days of the date of offence. It's expected that it will take approximately 2-4 weeks for the owner of the vehicle to receive a Penalty Order in the mail.

Note: For automated speed enforcement tickets with an offence date on or before January 19, 2025, registered plate owners have three options:
1) Pay the fine;
2) Request an early resolution meeting; or
3) Request a trial
If you request a trial, you may request disclosure. Please make sure you provide all relevant information, including the name of the defendant, the charge, the date of the offence, the trial date, the courtroom number, the time of trial, and the name and phone number of the person to contact when the disclosure is ready for pickup.
You will be notified when your disclosure package is ready. If you have any further questions pertaining to your request, you should contact the appropriate prosecutor's office.
There is no cost associated with requesting disclosure. Forms can be downloaded prior to attending the court office. Further information and disclosure request forms can be found on the City of Toronto Court Services website .
