FAQs

Is Automated Speed Enforcement effective?

Many municipalities are experiencing budget pressures that limit their ability to allocate resources to respond to frequent constituent complaints about speeding.  ASE addresses this need for enforcement without additional law enforcement resources. Most municipalities that deploy ASE have reported that average speeds decrease significantly once the ASE cameras are deployed.

Where should ASE cameras be deployed?

ASE is a data driven form of enforcement designed to provide municipalities with an additional tool to increase safety for all road users. Cameras are deployed where municipalities have conducted speed studies that indicate that vehicle speeds are significantly higher than the posted limit. As per Ontario regulations, cameras can only be deployed School Zones and Community Safety Zones.

What is the speed threshold and who decides what it should be?

The speed threshold is the posted speed limit. Any speed over the posted limit is considered to be speeding

What is the impact of the number of contested tickets on our POA Courts? ​

It stands to reason that, by virtue of additional charges being laid, court volumes will increase. In light of this, many municipalities are moving forward with the Administrative Penalty (AP) program for adjudication of automated speeding and red light camera tickets. The AP program takes these tickets out of the Provincial Offences Courts and streamlines the process resulting in faster adjudication times and lower costs for municipalities. ​
