Speed is a contributing factor in almost one third of fatal collisions in Canada.
Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is a road safety program that helps make drivers more aware of the need to slow down in school zones and community safety zones.
ASE:
- Uses a camera and a speed measurement device to capture images of vehicles going faster than the posted speed limit. A ticket with the image of the vehicle's license plate and speed is issued to the vehicle’s owner.
- Reminds drivers to slow down in school and community safety zones and other places where people walk, run, cycle, and play.
- Is about safety - it is designed to work with other traffic safety programs, including improvements to road networks, educational programs, and police enforcement.
Watch for signs
“Coming Soon” and “In Use” signs tell drivers where and when ASE is being used to enforce the posted speed limit.
Peel Region currently has one rotating camera at Palgrave Public School on Airport Road. This camera will be moved to Robert F. Hall Secondary School on Old Church Road in September 2023.
The Town of Caledon has installed “Coming Soon” signs in 2 community safety zones in Bolton (Columbia Way) and Southfields (Kennedy Road). These signs indicate that ASE cameras will start operating within 90 days.
