Photo radar cameras will be installed in 24 locations across Ottawa by the end of 2025
Signs have been installed to warn motorists that photo radar cameras will be activated within the next 90 days at 24 locations, including on Bank Street outside Lansdowne Park and in Dunrobin, Manotick and Richmond.
There are currently 60 photo radar cameras set up in community safety, school zones and 'high speed' zones across the City of Ottawa.
The City of Ottawa plans to install 24 new photo radar cameras in 2025, but no cameras have been installed so far this year.
A City of Ottawa spokesperson told CTV News Ottawa on Thursday that construction is expected to begin in early/mid August to install the 24 new automated speed enforcement cameras, 'with the goal of having all cameras operational by late fall.'
Signs stating 'Municipal Speed Camera Coming Soon' have been installed in the 24 locations to warn motorists that the photo radar camera will soon be operational. Under Ontario regulations, the 'Municipal Speed Camera Coming Soon' sign must be installed at least 90 days before enforcement begins to provide adequate warning to motorists that a photo radar camera will be operational.

Cars keep getting more expensive but Albertans are still buying plenty — before tariffs really bite
Across Alberta, more people are buying new vehicles even as prices have been shooting up. Statistics Canada says new motor vehicle sales in the province hit a seven-year high in May, with 23,691 units sold. The province hasn't seen that many vehicles sold in a month since May 2018. The price of the vehicles sold in May 2025 totalled $1.42 billion, an all-time record in terms of dollars. It continued a strong start to the calendar year for vehicle sales, which has come as a surprise to many in the industry. "If someone would have told me back in February that we'd be sitting here at the end of June with Ford having as good a year, and some other auto manufacturers as well, I would have said not a chance," said Marty Giles with Northstar Ford in Calgary. Mark Parsons, chief economist with ATB Financial, says it's unusual to see both prices and demand go up at the same time. He believe several factors are driving sales right now. "One is front-loading: getting ahead of tariff pressures," he said. "You're starting to see some early signs that tariffs are creeping through to vehicle prices but we haven't felt the full impacts yet. So folks are trying to get in front of that, and buy their vehicles now, while they can." Parsons said Alberta's rapid population growth and pent-up demand from the pandemic are also at play. He expects sales numbers to fall as price pressures continue to build later in the year. "It's been a good run," said Gerald Wood with the Motor Dealers Association of Alberta. "Everybody's still a little bit concerned about what the second half of the year ultimately is going to look like, but we're just trying to deal with what we can control now and make sure that we satisfy as many customers as we possibly can." He says vehicles are getting more expensive because input costs are going up across the supply chain, including the cost of transport and the vehicle components, themselves. Wood said U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff threats and any reciprocal tariffs could also have a big impact on the auto industry.

Pride parade and classic car show closes many downtown roads today
Plan your route if you're heading to downtown London Sunday as the number of road closures may have you driving in circles. The annual Pride London parade will see Queens Avenue closed between the Western Fair Market to Victoria Park, with some side streets also blocked. Some 4,000 people are expected to attend, organizers say, with floats and performers leaving the fair grounds at noon, and roads remaining closed until approximately 4 p.m. Richmond Row will also be closed from the edge of Victoria Park at Central, north to Oxford Street for the fourth annual Rides on Richmond. It's a free classic car show with owners encouraged to bring their classic, custom, lowriders, muscle or exotic vehicles. That event will see the roads closed between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
