A police enforcement blitz will continue through the rest of the year on the Red Hill Valley Parkway (RHVP) and Lincoln Alexander Expressway (LINC).
Hamilton’s general issues committee has approved a 28-week extension of the current enforcement campaign which will be funded from red light camera reserves at a cost of $285,000.
City monitoring that was conducted in late May indicates that almost two-thirds of motorists — 65 per cent — continue to speed on the busy routes.
That number is down from 85 per cent during a previous enforcement campaign, while Hamilton Police Inspector Marty Schulenberg says it’s proof that “visibility and enforcement does have an impact” on driver behaviour.
A resurfacing of the northbound lanes of the Red Hill Valley Parkway was completed last Wednesday, following the release of a report that raised concerns about “friction” levels.

The southbound lanes are now closed for repaving with construction scheduled to continue for another two weeks.
