Photo radar is coming to Circle Drive and school zones around the city.

The city and SGI announced the two-year pilot project on Monday. The first phase will see a camera rotated across five locations on Circle Drive. The thoroughfare is getting targeted because of the speed and volume of the traffic, and the severity of the collisions.

The second camera will be set up in school zones.

The money collected from the cameras will be split between the city (75 per cent) and the province (25 per cent). The city will pay for the cameras – $19,633 per month – from this money.

Whatever is left will go into the traffic safety reserve.
