EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Photo Enforcement Safety Program

2017 Annual Report

The City of Winnipeg Photo Enforcement Safety Program was established in 2003 to augment conventional

enforcement for the purpose of enhancing traffic safety. This program has shown itself to be operationally

efficient and effective. This is the 14th annual report highlighting the operation of this program.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2017

On January 1, 2017, the program entered into the fifth year of a seven (7) year contract with Xerox Business

Solution Canada Inc.

The number of Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) locations is currently at 49, with one location being relocated. A

total of 33 cameras were rotated through these locations. The rotation is based on statistical data which

identifies locations shown to have consistently recorded a high rate of unsafe driving behavior. In 2017, a total

of 10,154 red light offences and 34,132 speeding offences were captured by Intersection Safety Cameras at all

locations. A decrease of 2.7% in ISC violations was noted.

Mobile Photo Radar captured 97,321 vehicles in violation. This represents a decrease of 1.49% of over 2016.

The Winnipeg Police Service continued its enforcement and deterrent efforts within school, playground and

construction zones throughout the year.

The Winnipeg Police Service continued its contract with Picante Advertising, which has developed the renowned

educational program known as “Just Slow Down.” This year the focus was on reduced speed school zones. This

program has been awarded numerous “Signature Awards” recognizing excellence in advertising for this

educational program.


1. REASON FOR THE REPORT

The 2017 Annual Report on the Photo Enforcement Program is submitted to the Province of Manitoba under the

Conditions of Authority agreement between the City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba regarding Image

Capturing Enforcement Systems.

This report presents the status and effectiveness of photo enforcement by providing a historical overview of the

program in Winnipeg and mandatory statistical data as outlined in the agreement. Historical reports 2010

through 2016 are accessible at the Winnipeg Police Service website.

http://www.winnipeg.ca/police/safestreets/stats.stm

2. PROGRAM GOAL

The Photo Enforcement Program goal is to reduce collisions and injuries by reducing red-light running and

speeding.

3. HISTORY OF PHOTO ENFORCEMENT IN WINNIPEG

Intersection Safety Camera

On October 19, 2001, the Winnipeg Police Service began a six-month pilot project of photo enforcement

technology. A single Intersection Safety Camera was installed at Sherbrook Street and Broadway Avenue. This

intersection was chosen due to its comparatively high rate of collisions versus the traffic volumes.

The Highway Traffic Amendment and Summary Convictions Amendment Act were passed into Legislation on

May 22, 2002, which proposed authority for the use of a Photo Enforcement Program in Manitoba.

https://web2.gov.mb.ca/bills/37-3/b003e.php

On January 6, 2003, a two month warning phase of the Photo Enforcement Program at the city's 12 Intersection

Safety Camera locations concluded, with over 15,000 violations noted.

On January 7, 2003, the Winnipeg Police Service began issuing tickets for speeding and red light offences at the

12 Intersection Safety Camera locations that were tested during the fall of 2002.

Twelve new Intersection Safety Cameras (ISC) locations were added to the program in August 2003. An

additional 12 Intersection Safety Camera locations were added in 2004 and again in 2005, bringing the total to

48 locations with 30 cameras being rotated through these sites.

In March 2006, the photo enforcement contract was re-negotiated to bring the total number of mobile photo

radar (PR) units from 5 to 10. The number of Intersection Safety Camera locations remained at 48 as the re-

negotiation removed the original requirement for installation of an additional twelve locations.

https://web2.gov.mb.ca/bills/37-3/b003e.php


Resulting from the effective success both statistically and by way of public acceptance of this very important

road safety initiative, the City of Winnipeg committed to continuing the program for a further 60 months. After

a lengthy Request for Proposal and evaluation process in 2007, the new photo enforcement contract was

awarded to ACS Public Sector Solutions.

In 2009, the City of Winnipeg Police Service contracted with the Traffic Injury Research Foundation to conduct

an evaluation of the City of Winnipeg Photo Enforcement Program. As a result of this evaluation, four additional

ISC locations were established, with two locations initiated late in 2009, followed by two in early 2010.

In 2012, the Province of Manitoba introduced amendments to the Image Capturing Enforcement Regulations

allowing for the use of digital technology.

November 2012 marked the expiration of the city's current Photo Enforcement contract. As such, the City of

Winnipeg issued a Request for Proposals for qualifying companies that would see the Photo Enforcement

Program move into the age of digital technology.

On December 31, 2012, following the completion of this process, the City of Winnipeg and ACS Public Sector

Solutions Inc. (a Xerox Company) signed a contract for the continuation of the Photo Enforcement program

through May of 2020.

In January 2013, the Photo Enforcement Program commenced the equipment upgrade to digital technology.

This upgrade was completed in the fall of 2013. The number of active Intersection Cameras was also increased

to 33.

In January 2017, Xerox began operating as Conduent Business Services Canada. In November 2017 a web portal

was introduced. This allows persons receiving a photo enforcement ticket to view the captured images in color

with links for payment.

Mobile Photo Radar

On January 7, 2003 Mobile photo radar units were deployed in school, playground and construction zones.

In March 2006, the photo enforcement contract was re-negotiated to bring the total number of mobile photo

radar (PR) units from 5 to 10.

In January 2013 "laser" based technology for mobile units was introduced.

4. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES - LOOKING AHEAD

As an accredited police agency with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA),

the Winnipeg Police Service is required to conduct a biennial survey of the citizens of Winnipeg to measure

public opinions and perceptions of the police service. The most recent survey, conducted in 2017, shows strong

support for all aspects of the Photo Enforcement Program. This feedback is valuable and will be weighed in

discussions of photo enforcement going forward.


Since 2005, the locations of the Intersection Safety Cameras have remained static. The technology currently

utilized for the program creates challenges, both financially and physically, to install camera systems in other

locations. Since the inception of the program in 2001, the City of Winnipeg has grown and changed significantly,

including the addition of major thoroughfares such as Sterling Lyon Parkway, Chief Peguis Trail, Kenaston

Boulevard South and Centreport Canada Way. The physical layout of the city and expanding roadway

infrastructure have impacted traffic flows and volumes. In addition, the steadily increasing population and

evolving driving behaviour have resulted in almost 100,000 more vehicles on the roadways of Winnipeg.

The current technology utilizes induction loops, which are coils of wire, embedded in the surface of the roadway

to detect speed and red light infractions. This technology is approaching end of life and requires replacement.

New technology for intersection safety cameras utilizes a radar-based detection system which is more cost

efficient for installation and adaptable for changing traffic patterns.

All enforcement devices must be listed as authorized in the Regulations to The Highway Traffic Act. The

Winnipeg Police Service is actively working with the Provincial Government to examine the regulations to

address technology change.

The Service is exploring opportunities that will allow for greater flexibility for mobile safety enforcement,

considering traffic infrastructure, volume and flow.

The current contract with Conduent Business Services Canada expires in May of 2020, which will lead to an

assessment of total performance, as well as an examination of hours and seasonality of safety enforcement,

among other considerations.

5. REVENUES AND EXPENSES

For the year 2017, the Winnipeg Police Service reported the Photo Enforcement Program revenues as

$16,241,671.34.1

For the year 2017, the total expenses for the Photo Enforcement Program were $5,441,457.93.

the salaries and benefits of the Winnipeg Police Service members assigned to work on the Photo

Enforcement program on a full time basis (9.47%)

the cost of working with outside contractors on enforcement (Xerox and operators) (90.47%)

miscellaneous expenses, including training, associated with operating the program (.6%)

This represents a surplus of $10,800,213.41. As the Photo Enforcement Program is part of the Winnipeg Police

Service, any net surplus is incorporated into the overall budget to fund other policing activities.

11. TRAFFIC COLLISION STATISTICS

2017 COLLISION STATISTICS SUMMARY

This report summarizes 2017 collision statistics for the Winnipeg intersections that have Intersection Safety

Cameras (ISC).

In October 2011, amendments to The Highway Traffic Act created two sources for Traffic Accident Reports

(TARs); TARs completed by law enforcement agencies and TARs completed when a collision claim is reported to

Manitoba Public Insurance. This change has helped correct the under-reporting of collisions that resulted in

minimal injury or property damage that occurred prior to the amendments. There is, therefore, an increase in

collision counts for the last three months of 2011 and for the years 2012 to 2017 when compared to previous

years.

In this report, TAR information has been merged with collision claims information to match collision counts and

collision configuration with intersection data. This information is aggregated to the incident level.

This report includes all intersections that have, or have had, an ISC.

DEFINITIONS MVC Injury a traffic collision where a person has been killed or injured. Due to the small number of fatal collisions, fatal and

injury collisions have been combined and denoted as injury.

MVC PDO a traffic collision where there is physical damage to property/vehicles, but with no people killed or injured.

MVC Total Injury and PDO collisions are combined in an overall collision summary.

Rear End any traffic collision where one vehicle collides with the rear section of another vehicle that is travelling in the

same direction.

Rear End Injury a traffic collision where one vehicle collides with the rear section of another vehicle that is travelling in the same

direction and results in at least one injury or fatality.

Rt Angle any 90 degree traffic collision at an intersection where one vehicle collides with the side of another vehicle.

Rt Angle Injury a 90 degree traffic collision at an intersection where one vehicle collides with the side of another vehicle and

results in at least one injury or fatality.

L/Rt Turn any traffic collision at an intersection where one vehicle collides with another vehicle while conducting either a

left or right turn. This collision could be with vehicles across from each other, travelling in opposing directions,

or travelling in the same direction. The left and right turn collisions exclude right angle (Rt Angle) collisions.

L/Rt Turn Injury a traffic collision at an intersection where one vehicle collides with another vehicle while conducting either a left

or right turn and results in at least one injury or fatality. This collision could be with vehicles across from each

other, travelling in opposing directions, or travelling in the same direction. The left and right turn injury

collisions exclude right angle (Rt Angle) injury collisions.


Traffic Collision Statistics 2017 12

The 2017 collision counts at ISC Intersections are preliminary and subject to change.

Injury and collisions are included in the total collision counts.

Injury and collisions include fatal and injury crashes.

PDO collisions exclude all injury collisions as defined.

2017 ISC Locations: MVC Totals


ANALYSIS VERSUS PROGRAM START

On January 7th, 2003 the Winnipeg Police Service began issuing tickets for speeding and red light offences at the 12 intersection safety camera (ISC) locations that were being tested for the fall of 2002. Current year comparative analysis was conducted for the original 12 ISC locations, as well as normalized to account for population and registered motor vehicle growth in the Winnipeg region.

Active Major Use 1 Vehicles as at March 1 of Each Year

data as of May 1 2018

2015 01 426,094

2016 01 432,938

2017 01 439,805

Motor Vehicle Collisions Compared to 2002, there was a 6% increase in total MVCs in the 12 original ISC locations (161 vs. 171), but when normalized to account for vehicle growth there has been a decrease of 17% (46.6 MVC per 100,000 vehicles vs. 38.9 MVC per 100,000 vehicles). Three year averages between the two study periods also show a 17% per capita decrease in motor vehicle collisions.


Right Angle Collisions Compared to 2002, there was an 8% decrease in total right angle collisions in the 12 original ISC locations (37 vs. 34), and when normalized to account for vehicle growth there has been a decrease of 28% (10.7 RACs per 100,000 vehicles vs. 7.7 RAC per 100,000 vehicles). Three year averages between the two study periods show a 8% per capita increase in right angle collisions. The initial rollout year of 2003 had the largest decrease in right angle collision (-22, -168%). The current 3 year average is 38% higher than the rollout period.

Rear End Collisions Compared to 2002, there was a 2% increase in total rear end collisions in the 12 original ISC locations (63 vs. 64), but when normalized to account for vehicle growth there has been a decrease of 13% (9.8 RECs per 100,000 vehicles vs. 8.5 REC per 100,000 vehicles). The current 3 year average is 31% lower in per capita collisions than the rollout period.


The following chart depicts the number of fatal collisions in the City of Winnipeg. It is important to note that

right angle collisions are synonymous with a minimum of one of two vehicles entering an intersection when it is

either unsafe to do so, or in direct contravention of a red traffic signal. There have been no recorded fatalities

for 2017 at any of the intersections monitored by intersection safety cameras.

12. MOBILE PHOTO RADAR ANALYSIS

The City of Winnipeg began the Photo Enforcement Program with a 'warning' phase in November 2002. A

component of the program was the deployment of mobile photo radar units to school and playground zones.

The speed of each vehicle that passed by a deployed unit was captured electronically and stored on digital

memory. This data collection feature provided insights into traffic flows in the areas monitored.

The reported number of speeding violations issued by the photo radar units in 2003 was 103,093. For 2005 the

issued violations were 48,194 for an overall decrease of 53% in comparison to 2003.

For 2007, although the program doubled its enforcement capabilities in June of 2006, the number of violations

issued (74,442) represented an overall decrease of 27.8% when compared to 2003.

In 2017, mobile photo radar/laser unit deployments captured 97,321 violations which represents a decrease of

1.49 % compared to 2016. Overall a decrease of 5.6% compared to 2003.

The following table represents the total number of tickets issued by speed range for 2003 through 2017 at

mobile photo radar (PR) locations.

13. PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

Just Slow Down

In 2009, the Winnipeg Police Service launched Just Slow Down, a public service campaign designed to raise

awareness of the relationship between higher speeds and the occurrence of fatality and serious injury in a

vehicle collision.

The fact is, Winnipeg is a relatively safe city. But city streets can become hazards when drivers are driving too

fast for road conditions, or sudden distractions or events lead to a collision. Results of a collision at high rates of

speed can be catastrophic.

The Just Slow Down campaign is intended to be a reminder to all drivers to consider the consequences of their

bad choices or habits.

In summer 2017, a new commercial was developed to help drivers understand the rationale behind the 30 km

school zone law. Children are our most precious treasure and it is up to us to keep them safe.

The commercial demonstrates the difference in stopping time at 30 kms/hour and at 50/kms an hour.

Developing awareness of slower driving speeds around school zones as a habit is a critical objective in the Just

Slow Down messaging.

“When I Grow Up” aired during August and early September when children are heading back to school as a

reminder to drivers to Just Slow Down.

Just Slow Down public service announcements air on Winnipeg television stations and a library of public service

messages can be found on our dedicated website www.justslowdown.ca.
