Ontario city adds a whopping 40 automated speeding cameras to nab drivers

The City of Brampton is aiming to strengthen its commitment to community traffic safety by installing 40 extra Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras, bringing it even closer to hitting its target of 185 cameras by the end of summer 2025. 

The additional cameras build on the 70 cameras already in operation and expand Brampton's ASE camera portfolio to 110 locations. The City says the traffic-calming tools are designed to work in tandem with other measures, including community safety zones and digital traffic signs. 

Statistics on Brampton's ASE program show an average decrease in vehicular speeds of 6.5 km/h across all camera sites and up to 18 km/h in selection locations.

According to the City, a vehicle was caught travelling 146 km/h within the first few days of a new camera being installed on Heart Lake Road, which, in this particular area, has a posted speed limit of 40 km/h. The same cameras have also proven to be very successful in Toronto, where they have led to millions in fines and are actually causing drivers to slow down.

Along with the ASE program, Brampton is aiming to calm traffic through its Neighbourhood Speed Reduction Program, which was brought forward in response to more than 2,400 service requests about concerns of aggressive driving and speeding throughout 2021 and 2022. 

The pilot program reduces speeds to 40 km/h in five neighbourhoods across the city identified in speed studies. 

The City is also reminding drivers and vehicle owners to remain cautious about potential text message scams involving ASE tickets.

Fines are only issued by mail and never by text message, and officials are warning those who receive any suspicious messages to avoid clicking on any links and to report them to Peel Regional Police.
