Drivers with a lead-foot may have to ease up on the gas pedal to avoid being fined, as new speed cameras are being added across Waterloo Region.

The region is adding two new cameras and activating several more throughout February, as a part of the municipal speed camera program to support safer neighbourhoods and school zones.

One camera was added on Monday on Bluevale Street North in Waterloo, near Bluevale Collegiate Institute and St. Agnes Catholic Elementary, according to the region.
