This was Ottawa's busiest photo radar camera in the first six months of 2023
One of Ottawa's newest photo radar cameras caught thousands of drivers speeding in the first six months of the year.
Statistics show the photo radar camera on Fisher Avenue, between Deer Park Road and Kintyre Private, issued 11,072 speeding tickets in the January to June period. According to the city of Ottawa's open data, the camera issued 2,358 tickets in March, 2,212 tickets in April and 2,237 tickets in May.

City staff told CTV News Ottawa Friday afternoon that the city collected $10.7 million in revenue through the automated speed enforcement camera program over the first six months of the year.
The automated speed enforcement camera on Fisher Avenue, near St. Pius X High School, first turned on last October.
The photo radar camera on St. Laurent Boulevard, between Noranda Avenue and Clarke Avenue, issued 8,190 speeding tickets in the first six months of the year. The camera, near Queen Elizabeth Public School, issued 22,914 tickets in its first eight months of operation between April and December 2022.
