Here's where Ottawa's new photo radar cameras are going to go
The city of Ottawa has released a list of where new photo radar cameras are going to be installed this year.
The city says it plans to install 23 new cameras this year, bringing the total to 40 by the end of 2023. Six of the cameras were supposed to have been installed in 2022, but the city said delays linked to construction industry-related labour strikes and shortages pushed the work to this spring.
Of the 23 cameras set to be installed this year, 17 are near schools. The city says the locations chosen for the cameras was based on a "data-driven approach" that factored in compliance with the speed limit in the area, the number of speeders, as well as the activity of students.
Two new cameras are near parks, and four are being placed along higher-speed roads—Hunt Club, Walkley and Montreal roads and King Edward Avenue—to test their effectiveness at reducing street racing.
Five locations, including the four high-speed road locations, are pending a review by Hydro Ottawa to ensure the appropriate on-site power requirements are present.
The 17 existing automated speed enforcement cameras set up in community safety zones near schools across the city of Ottawa issued 127,939 speeding tickets in 2022.
Traffic Services Director Phil Landry says the program is not intended to be a cash grab.
"At the end of the day, the goal is to not speed," Landry said.
"This program isn’t meant to generate millions of dollars of revenue but unfortunately people are still speeding. So we want to ensure those folks change their behaviours and the cameras have shown to change behaviours with reduction in speeds."
Coun. Tim Tierney, who chairs the Transportation Committee, says councillors are "begging" for photo radar cameras to be installed.
"The money goes back into making our streets safer so this isn’t going back into our general revenues this is making streets safer and that’s what the goal of this whole program is."
Here is where the new cameras will go and which school or park they'll be near:
