All 35 of the city’s planned intersection safety cameras are now in place, after nearly a year.
Of the safety cameras, 34 are in effect, while the one on Island Highway at Aulds Road in Nanaimo will go into effect mid-September. The grace period is to give drivers time to adjust to the new speed limit, which was reduced by 10 km/hour.
