""to provide road safety rationale, and data, for removing ASE cameras.""
""We will have no rule of law if there aren't fines for speeding and putting other people at risk," he said. "The goal is to make nothing. That means everybody's driving the speed limit.""
"Despite study findings and opposition from municipalities and police, Ford said speed cameras don't slow down drivers and are instead a "tax grab" for cities."
Toronto's infrastructure and environment committee voted to strengthen automated speed enforcement (ASE) and directed staff to request from the province a road-safety rationale and data supporting any removal of ASE cameras. Mayor Olivia Chow introduced the motion that would also cap the number of offences a driver can accumulate before a first mailed ticket and require larger, more visible signage at camera locations. The vote occurred one day after Premier Doug Ford announced upcoming legislation to ban speed cameras and proposed a provincial traffic-calming fund for alternatives such as speed bumps, roundabouts and raised crosswalks. Councillors emphasized safety over revenue, rebutting claims that cameras are a "tax grab."
