Senior manager of traffic operations, Shawna Boakes, says from the time the first camera went online in early January to mid-May there have been 1,412 infractions issued.
The city introduced the initiative as part of a 10-year, $22-million plan to improve traffic safety across the city.
Cameras were installed at 10 targeted intersections across the city identified as the highest accident rate areas, including:
