The Niagara region says 3 locations will start taking pictures Wednesday
If you're one of those drivers who likes to try and "slip" through traffic lights, better think twice starting Wednesday.
The Niagara region's red light cameras will start taking your picture at three stop lights that day.
It's been installing and testing a number of them over the last few weeks.
Cameras will be active in Niagara Falls at Stanley and Dunn, in St. Catharines at Niagara Street and Parnell Road, and in Welland at Lincoln and Prince Charles Drive.

The Niagara Region says red light cameras have a proven history of improving intersection safety, in reducing the severity of collisions. It adds this is true for right-angled crashes, which more commonly result in injuries and fatalities.
