Drivers are travelling an average of 5 km/h to 11 km/h faster at former photo radar camera locations in Ottawa’s school zones this fall compared to a year ago, according to new statistics.

It will never cease to annoy me that they don't measure the speed of these vehicles before and after the camera locations. I guarantee compliance in every single one of these areas was below 50% as soon as the camera wasn't tracking, even in 2025. I don't live near the former camera location on Meadowlands, but I'm telling you, they fly by my front door like they're on fire.

Speeding comes from a lack of enforcement. Which, ironically, is the same place the unfortunate folks you see on OC Transpo or sleeping at the station comes from. The safety issues with taking public transit right now are a major reason why I don't, and wouldn't if you paid me.
