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.

One can pay for the other. That would be the ideal solution IMO.

Speeding has nothing to do with wages and everything to do with the design of the roads. Longer term better design is the real solution to speeding, but in the mean time automated enforcement seems like a good intermediate step. We have to penalize behaviour like that and cameras aren't as racist as cops.
