Automated Speed Enforcement has been in the news a lot lately. Premier Ford has promised to enact legislation to remove ASE in favour of other traffic calming measures, naming speed humps specifically which he alleges are more effective. Mississauga Council has written to the Premier with facts about the efficacy of the ASE program in our city and asking that the program be revised rather than completely repealed. In Mississauga, we use only 22 cameras deployed only in school zones. We have incorporated time of day enforcement. All revenue is used to fund the program and any surplus would go directly to other road safety initiatives. The average fine here is for vehicles travelling 16 km/hr over the posted speed limit.
That said, I want to hear from you about ASE cameras and other traffic calming options. Thanks for taking a few minutes to respond to this brief survey.
