Traffic Cameras

Video cameras at many City of Richmond locations are a major road safety and traffic management initiative positively impact road users in Richmond by providing:

  • The City more accurate data for traffic planning

The City works closely with the Provincial Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) to ensure the City is in compliance with regulations including:

  • Signage will identify each intersection with recording cameras
