The D.C. Council got a detailed update this past week on which speed cameras in the city are taking the most pictures.
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) said the busiest speed camera in the entire city is located along the northbound Potomac Freeway at 25th Street in Northwest. It also happens to be one of the newest ones.
From Oct. 1 through New Year’s Eve of last year, this camera issued 33,682 tickets. That’s the most citations ever given out by any D.C. Automated Traffic Enforcement camera.
But other cameras are not far behind. In the last three months of 2023, the camera on DC-295 near Exit 1 gave out 20,641 citations.
New York Avenue, southwestbound at N Capitol Street Northeast snapped more than 19,041 pictures. The cameras are strategically placed based on speed, bike, and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as crash data.
