According to the data, the Wansbeck St camera snapped 10,031 vehicles exceeding the 50kmh speed limit between March 1, when the camera was installed, and June 30.

Of those, 2658 fines were issued in March, 2039 in April, 2751 in May and 2583 in June.

The dollar value of the fines totalled $916,510 - an average of $91.34 per offence.
