Figures released by the Luxembourg Ministry of Transport have revealed that the camera installed in October 2020 flashed 10,248 times in its first few operational months.
Located at the Place de l'Étoile, the strategically placed camera caught a huge number of amber gamblers between October and January.
The country's first red light camera snapped 6,432 motorists running a red light and 3,816 times due to incidents of speeding.
The Minister of Transport, François Bausch, revealed these details in response to a parliamentary question from the Pirate Party.
These figures can be translated as 111 vehicles flashed on average per day of operation. However, during this test phase, all photos were automatically deleted after a period of five days, assures the minister.
Two other red light radars will soon be functional, one on rue de Hollerich in Luxembourg and the other at the "Schlammestee", near Weiler-la-Tour.
