By

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Are you in favor of the province’s plan to activate speed cameras in intersections around B.C.? If so, it appears you’re in the majority.

A recent poll from Research Co. suggests about 68 per cent of those surveyed approve of using the technology to catch drivers speeding through intersections.

The province has already announced plans to update 35 existing red-light cameras, to also catch drivers speeding through yellow, and green lights at certain intersections.

If you get caught, a speeding ticket will be mailed to your house.

The poll suggests support is highest amongst women, and people over 55.

It doesn’t matter if you drive, or not; about 72 per cent of people surveyed who don’t drive give the plans thumbs up, while about 66-percent of people who drive at least 5-days per week also agree.
