The City of Ottawa is nearly doubling the number of intersections equipped with cameras to nab drivers who run red lights.
Thirty-three intersections across the city will now be monitored for red light infractions, up from 18 sites.
However, not every intersection will be monitored 24 hours a day. The city will use 13 cameras, rotating them through various locations.
It's currently a $325-fine for running a red light. Meanwhile, a red light violation in a Community Safety Zone, including school zones, is $490.
It's believed expanding the red light camera program will cost the city an estimated $1.5 million.
