"We don't want to see any children get hurt just because they're trying to get to school,"
"That's what these speed cameras are there for. They're there to keep our children safe. And unfortunately our premier feels differently about that."
"cash grab"
Dozens of parents and children rallied near a speed camera at Bloor and Dundas to oppose a provincial plan to ban automated speed enforcement (ASE). Parents said ASE, primarily placed in school zones, keeps children safe and warned that removing cameras would put young lives at risk. Premier Doug Ford announced legislation to ban municipal ASE, arguing cameras do not make roads safer and calling them a "cash grab." The province would require large flashing signs in school zones and provide funds for alternative traffic-calming measures like speed humps and raised sidewalks. Municipal data, studies and police testimony are cited by opponents as evidence of ASE effectiveness.
