Thirty-nine new photo radar cameras will be installed to keep an eye on Ottawa roads over the next 14 months, including on roads in the rural villages of Dunrobin, Manotick, Richmond and Vars.

There are currently 45 automated speed enforcement cameras set up in community safety and school zones across the City of Ottawa and in four high-speed pilot locations.  A total of 261,566 speed tickets were issued by 40 photo radar cameras between January and August, with five new cameras coming online this fall.

Fifteen photo radar cameras are scheduled to be installed by the end of this year. The 2025 City of Ottawa budget calls for another 24 photo radar cameras to be installed next year, including a pilot project to install the cameras on rural roads.
