WASHINGTON, D.C. — The District of Columbia is notorious for its use of speed cameras.
In fact, in the time it takes to read this article, more than 120 people will get tickets, some as high as $800.
And some deserve it.
But in certain parts of the city there's evidence the cameras are less about safety and more about making millions.
“It's nothing but a speed trap,” said John Townsend of AAA Mid Atlantic.
The speed camera he’s referring to is on DC’s I-295 and is one of the District's most productive and controversial. It’s generated than $26 million in just two and a half years. T...

From Wikipedia:
Interstate 295 (I-295) in the U.S. state of Maryland and in Washington, D.C., also known as the Anacostia Freeway, is a 8.05-mile (12.96 km) spur route connecting I-95 / I-495 and Maryland Route 210 (Indian Head Highway) near the Potomac River (just outside the District's boundary with Maryland) to Interstate 695 and D.C. Route 295 in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Although I-295 technically begins at the Capital Beltway (I-95/I-495), a pair of mainline ramps connects the southern terminus of the route to the nearby MD 210. Continuing north from this interchange, I-295 enters the District of Columbia; the route is only 0.8 miles (1.3 km) long in Maryland.
Passing to the west and north of Oxon Cove Park, the route parallels the Potomac River, running through the Southeast quadrant of D.C. It passes close to Shepard Parkway and forms the eastern boundary of Bolling Air Force Base and the Anacostia Naval Station. Near the southern end of Anacostia Park the route turns east and begins to parallel the Anacostia River, interchanging with South Capitol Street near the latter's crossing of the river.
View north at the south end of I-295 at I-95/I-495 in Oxon Hill, Maryland
Within the park, I-295 encounters the junction with I-695 (which heads northwest across the 11th Street Bridges) and D.C. Route 295 at Exit 4. At this junction I-295 ends and the mainline freeway through the interchange assumes the identity of D.C. Route 295 and continues to Baltimore, though it changes identities several times: DC 295, MD 201, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (an unnumbered federally owned expressway operated by the National Park Service), and MD 295.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The District of Columbia is notorious for its use of speed cameras.
In fact, in the time it takes to read this article, more than 120 people will get tickets, some as high as $800.
And some deserve it.
But in certain parts of the city there's evidence the cameras are less about safety and more about making millions.
“It's nothing but a speed trap,” said John Townsend of AAA Mid Atlantic.
The speed camera he’s referring to is on DC’s I-295 and is one of the District's most productive and controversial. It’s generated than $26 million in just two and a half years. This camera charges premium penalties in a work-zone where there's often no evidence of work, raising serious questions about the District's motives.
“There’s always the suspicion that even if you say this is a work zone and it’s done for traffic safety, that an underlying reason for all of this is the revenue,” said Townsend.
“I thought it was a reasonable speed for the freeway," Lidia Rosas said as she showed me her $300 fine for going 59 mph. A speed that normally wouldn't trigger a ticket.
But in May, the District lowered the speed to 40 mph and doubled the fines, making it a work-zone 24/7.
But where’s the work? Since August 2019, the ABC7 I-Team repeatedly drove the stretch of highway containing the speed camera and looked for signs of a work zone. Every time, no cones, no equipment, no work.
So, we started asking questions about sign placement, disputed tickets, the law that would allow for 24/7 work zone fines where there’s no work, the amount of revenue generated, and maintenance records for the camera.....
