By mid-April, the number of speed cameras functioning across Toronto is expected to double, growing from 75 to 150.
Toronto city council in December approved the installation of 75 new automated speed enforcement cameras. The cameras are part of the city's speed management strategy to address the frequency of collisions throughout Toronto.
In a statement to TorontoToday, a city spokesperson said 60 of the 75 new cameras have already been installed and are operational.
The remaining 15 speed cameras are expected to be operational by the beginning of April.
Transportation Services general manager Barbara Gray told 680 NewsRadio that 25 of the cameras will be permanently pole-mounted, while the other 50 will rotate positioning in the wards where they are installed. The change will occur every three to six months, Gray said.
A full list of the locations of the city's speed and red light cameras can be found online.
In the areas where the new speed cameras will be placed, locals have likely already spotted signage, as the city is required to post a warning about incoming speed cameras 90 days ahead of installation.
If a vehicle is detected by a speed camera while travelling above the speed limit, the registered owner of the vehicle will receive a violation notice regardless of who was driving. A fine is issued for the offence, without demerit points or impact to one's driving records.
