A red light camera is seen in Ottawa in this undated photo. Ottawa drivers appear to be stopping more often for a red-light camera on King Edward Avenue in Lowertown this year, as the camera caught fewer red-light runners in the first four months of the year. King Edward Avenue is home to three of Ottawa's 10 busiest red-light cameras this year. However, Statistics released by the City of Ottawa show the red-light camera on King Edward Avenue at St. Patrick Street issued 339 tickets in the first four months of the year, down from 1,346 tickets in the January to April period last year. The red-light camera on King Edward Avenue at St. Andrew Street issued 477 tickets in the first four months of the year, down from 532 tickets in the January to April period in 2024. The camera on King Edward at Besserer Street issued 461 tickets in the first four months of the year, down from 502 tickets last year. The city issued 2,000 fewer tickets for red-light camera infractions in the first four months of the year. Statistics show 12,654 tickets were issued through red light cameras in the January to April period, down from 14,877 tickets in 2024 and 14,836 tickets in 2023. The 12,654 tickets issued for running a red light in the first four months of the year are the fewest number of tickets issued since 2022, when 8,934 tickets were issued in the January-April period. The City of Ottawa has added 15 red light cameras since 2022. Ottawa's busiest red-light camera is on Wellington Street at Bay Street, with 624 tickets issued through the first four months of the year. The camera caught 934 red light runners in the January-April period of 2024. The new red-light camera on Maitland Avenue at Erindale Drive/Glenmount Avenue issued 270 tickets in its first three months of operation in 2025. There was no data available for 11 red-light cameras in the first four months of the year. The fine for being caught running a red light by the red-light camera is $325. The ticket for running the red light is issued to the registered owner of the vehicle, regardless of who is driving the car at the time of the alleged offence. Revenue from the red-light camera program is intended to support road safety. A report from the auditor general earlier this year found $10.7 million in funding from red light cameras installed since 2020 was not 'used exclusively for road safety issues.'
