D.C. has broken its previous record for issuing speed camera tickets, handing out 994,163 citations during the 2016 fiscal year.

It compares to a total of 520,104 speed camera tickets in the District in 2015. The previous record was set in 2012, when the city issued 845,475 citations.

These numbers come courtesy of AAA Mid-Atlantic, which filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles.

The city received nearly $99.2 million in revenue from those tickets in 2016 with the help of its estimated 300 cameras. One speeding camera at the 600 block of Kenilworth Avenue where it connects with I-295 worked overtime, netting more than $20 million in fiscal year 2016 for both speeding and red light fines, according to Washington Business Journal.

Adding in surrounding Maryland jurisdictions (Virginia doesn’t have them) means the region issued a total of 2,166,834 tickets with the help of the cameras. Here’s how that breaks down:

AAA, as an advocate for drivers, is no fan of the cameras, which were first implemented in the District in 2001. Last year, the advocacy group pointed out that about 20 percent of drivers who challenge red light or speeding camera tickers are able to get them dismissed

Here’s a look at the pattern of citations and revenue gleaned by the speed cameras in D.C. since 2007.
