D.C. police use photo radar cameras and red light cameras at such intersections as 16th Street and Colorado Avenue NW. (Bill O'leary -- The Washington Post)

The Washington Times reports, in "D.C. cameras hit Maryland drivers hardest," that Maryland drivers receive the bulk of the citations generated by DC's automated traffic control devices (running red lights and speeding).

According to the article, in February:

64% of the tickets were issued to those with Maryland drivers licenses;
20% of the tickets were issued to those with DC drivers licenses;
9% of the tickets were issued to those with Virginia drivers licenses;
and other states made up the difference.
