D.C. is adding a slew of new speed cameras

• The cameras will be placed in High Injury Network spots — aka traffic areas where DDOT has identified speeding to be a safety problem — across the Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast quadrants.

The big picture: D.C. has seen over 40 traffic fatalities this year — a 69% increase from the same period last year, according to police data.

Be smart: Once signs saying speed is photo-enforced are installed, speeding drivers will receive warnings for 30 days. After that period, DDOT will begin issuing fines ranging from $100 to $500.

• All cameras are set to be installed this month, according to DDOT's news release.
