Toronto adds 25 more speed cameras to its fleet of 50, new locations released

The City of Toronto has added another 25 automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras to its already existing roster of 50 that have been in use for the last two years.

The additional cameras will be allocated one per ward, with three speed cameras now being placed in each of the 25 wards in the city.

In February, city council approved the installation of 25 more cameras bringing the total to 75.

The speed cameras began operating in July 2020. If a vehicle is caught speeding by an ASE, an image of the vehicle is captured and stored in the system and then reviewed by provincial officers.

If an offence is detected, the city said the only penalty is a fine mailed to the registered owner’s address and their driving record will not be impacted. No demerit points will be issued.

The 25 new speed cameras will be placed at the following locations:

In a sixth round of rotating the cameras, the original 50 speed cameras will be placed at these locations:

The city noted that one of the cameras, at Parkside Drive, will remain there again due to community concerns.
