Doug Ford banned speed cameras. The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after the ban. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit. (feddit.uk)

Running reds seems like a great job for cameras.

Blinkers are difficult because its so fast and is best seen from within traffic. Even if you had a person sitting there doing a sting it would be difficult to catch.

Many municipal transit systems all full of cameras pointed at the passengers. I think those would be better utilized pointing out at traffic.

    Yes, red light cameras are a good use for cameras.

    Blinkers are difficult, but that doesn't mean they should be ignored. Just put a cop at an intersection, it wouldn't be hard at all to catch people not using them. Hell, a cop could have their entire month quota of tickets done I a day of they just sat at an intersection.
