Red Light Camera Tickets in Ontario

Red light camera tickets are increasingly common in Ontario. They are automated tickets issued by cameras at intersections.

Fines and Penalties

The fine for a red light camera ticket is $325.00 plus a victim surcharge and court costs. This fine is set by the municipality and is the same regardless of the speed or circumstances.

Demerit Points

There are zero demerit points for red light camera tickets. This is because the camera cannot identify the driver of the vehicle, so the ticket is issued to the owner of the vehicle.

Insurance Impact

Because there are zero demerit points, red light camera tickets do not appear on your driving record and do not affect your insurance premiums.

Disputing the Ticket

You can dispute a red light camera ticket if the camera was not functioning correctly or if the photo does not clearly show your vehicle or license plate.
