I know speed, and red light cameras are common now. A city near me is experimenting with bus lane cameras.
Bus lanes are reserved for buses and bicycles during rush hours. They are usually the lane next to the curb and they are marked with diamonds. The only time a car can be in the bus lane is if they plan to turn right in less than a block.
The city is considering setting up cameras over the bus lanes and mailing tickets to motorists who travel more than a block without turning. I imagine it will be filming motion and someone will have to watch.

The Canadian city of Winnipeg has introduced a new traffic camera to capture images of people driving their vehicles in bus lanes. The city has put up a camera in one of its “diamond” lanes as part of a study to see how many drivers use it when they should not.
...
For the next six months the new camera will keep track of violators, but police will not use the information to issue a ticket. For now, the camera is only there to see if there is a significant problem with non-compliance. After city officials see the study’s results, they will decide whether or not to start using the cameras to fine diamond lane violators.
