As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of traffic-related injuries and deaths, the city of Montreal is adding three new photo radars to its territory.
The new radars, operated by Montreal police, are mobile, which means they can be moved up and down anywhere on the street, or moved to a new sector altogether.
The radar is the latest development in a plan unveiled by the Quebec government in 2009.
