The City of Hamilton is launching a photo radar pilot project aimed at curbing speeding and collisions in school and community safety zones.

Council directed staff to begin work on this pilot project in January.

The city says it has identified 12 locations where speed and collisions have been a problem.

It will have two cameras operating at one location at a time over the course of a year.

Tickets will be issued starting Oct. 1.

If a vehicle is detected travelling in faster than the posted speed limit, the registered owner will receive a ticket regardless of who was driving.

The city says it will publish the number of tickets issued at each location on a monthly basis beginning in December.
