The grace period for Quebec's photo-radar pilot project ends at midnight Tuesday and drivers will get tickets if one of the province's 15 cameras catches them speeding or burning red lights.
Transport Quebec has noted fewer offenders at the radar locations, three months after the pilot project began.
Speeding incidents fell by nearly half, or 44 per cent, compared with the period prior to the installation of the cameras.
Motorists, on average, drove 9 km/h slower and the government noted 77 per cent fewer red-light infractions.
"Even though this data is preliminary, it raises hope that road safety is improving," Transport Quebec said in a statement.
"Less speeding and fewer burned red lights would certainly mean fewer collisions and more lives saved."
The photo-radar pilot project will continue until next May and a report will be sent to lawmakers who will decide whether to expand the program across Quebec on a permanent basis.
Speeders caught on camera may receive a fine of up to $1200, though upon analysis, police officers may give some drivers a break.
"It can depend on weather conditions, it can depend on volume; it depends on so many factors. But if you go over the speeding limit you can - and probably will - get a speeding ticket," said Montreal police Inspector Andre Durocher.
