City of Windsor Expands Road Safety Initiatives

Published

As part of the City of Windsor’s ongoing commitment to Vision Zero and road safety, two initiatives are rolling out across the community.

New Red-Light Cameras Activated at Two Windsor Intersections

Two more new red-light cameras will officially begin live operation starting this Monday, September 22, 2025. This brings the number to sixteen of the twenty red-light cameras approved by City Council to date.

The newly activated camera intersections are as follows:

  • Lauzon Parkway and Tecumseh Road East
  • Lauzon Parkway and Lauzon Line

The remaining four red-light camera locations are planned to be commissioned before the end of 2025. 

Additional Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras in School Zones

Red-light cameras are separate and should not be confused with automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras. ASE cameras help reduce speeding and improve safety across the city. The initial ASE program rollout will begin in December 2025, with prioritized enforcement at five school areas located within designated school zones or community safety zones: 

  • Cabana Road East (Howard to Holburn)
  • Clover Avenue (McHugh to Tecumseh Road East)
  • Huron Church Road (Millen to 180 metres north of Tecumseh Road West)
  • Forest Glade Drive (Lauzon to Wildwood)
  • Conservation Drive (E.C. Row Avenue to Calvert)

Speeding fines in these zones are doubled under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act. Advance notification signs have been posted to notify drivers of these future ASE enforcement zones.

Both red-light cameras and automated speed enforcement cameras are part of the City’s Vision Zero aspirations to improve safety for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and all types of motorists, and to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
