Ever wonder which intersections with red light cameras net the most fines in Ottawa? Here’s your answer:
Location of Red Light Cameras and Fines
As reported in June, the total number of crashes at these intersections have decreased, but the number of rear-end crashes have actually gone up. For cameras in use for 10 years, rear-end crashes increased 20% at those intersections. Angle collisions (T-bone crashes) decreased 29% over that same time.
The rear-end crashes are often a result of people tailgating and trying to burn through intersections.
It’s something for all of us to keep in mind as more kids cross these intersections at the start of a new school year.
