Here's where the city is installing photo radar cameras in your neighbourhood
Tickets are expected to start being issued to speeding drivers in the spring of 2020
The City of Toronto will start installing 50 automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras, complete with signs urging drivers to slow down, on Monday.
- Yes, the photo radar systems will be in every ward in the city, and will be capable of capturing and recording images of speeding vehicles in in order to automatically ticket drivers.
- No, you won't get a ticket yet if you break the law. A 90-day public education campaign started this week that see offending motorists get warning letters, instead.
The citywide effort is a key part of the city's Vision Zero plan to eliminate all traffic-related fatalities. So far this year, at least 35 pedestrians have died on the city's streets, while 12 drivers and four passengers have also been killed according to Toronto police statistics.
Each ward will have two ASE cameras. The systems will be installed on local, collector and arterial roads, as well as Community Safety Zones near schools.
