Red-light cameras at 35 intersections will take pictures of speeding vehicles and send their owners an automated ticket starting this summer.
They have been identified by the B.C. government as having the greatest potential for safety gains.
New warning signs will be installed to notify drivers, but the speed at which the cameras are triggered will not be revealed.
The tickets will go to the registered owners of the cars.
The government only explained that drivers speeding “well over” the limit through a green, yellow or red light will be ticketed.
But between 2012 and 2016, red-light cameras in the province detected an average of 10,500 vehicles going at least 30km/h faster than the speed limit, which could be some indication of how many tickets will be issued.
"We have a record number of crashes happening – more than 900 a day in our province – and about 60% of the crashes on our roads are at intersections," said Mike Farnworth, minister of public safety and solicitor general.
"We've taken time to systematically pinpoint the locations linked to crashes and dangerous speeds that are best suited to safely catching, ticketing and changing the behaviours of those who cause carnage on B.C. roads."
