Ottawa getting 20 new red light cameras

The city has revealed the locations of 20 new red light cameras across the city.

The new cameras, set to be installed by the end of the year, bring the total number of red light cameras to 54.

In a memo to council, city transportation chief John Manconi said staff selected the 20 new sites by reviewing collisions that happened between 2012 and 2015 at all the city's intersections with traffic lights.
