Automated speed enforcement cameras have been installed at four community safety zones in Bradford West Gwillimbury.
Effective immediately, tickets will be issued to vehicle owners caught speeding in the posted areas.
- Line 7, between Lallien Drive and Dixon Road
- Holland Street West, between West Park Avenue and Professor Day Drive
- Professor Day Drive, south of Breeze Drive and West Park Avenue
- Simcoe Road, near Catania Avenue
“This pilot project is a long-awaited solution to help our municipality decrease speeding across our neighbourhood streets," said Mayor James Leduc in a news release. "Serving on council for over two decades, I’ve heard many concerns from our residents regarding community and traffic safety – speeding continues to be the primary issue among our residents. Integrating automated speed enforcement in BWG is an important step to ensure safer streets throughout our community.”
Automated speed enforcement uses a camera and speed measurement device to detect and capture images of vehicles travelling at more than the posted speed limit. The town has partnered with Global Traffic Group Ltd. for the duration of the pilot project, to provide technology, processing solutions, and expertise.
The cameras will be rotated at community safety zones in town, with a mandatory 90-day notification period for advanced warning signs at each location. The notification period for the first four locations began on Feb. 1, and will be active there for four months, frome May 1 to Sept. 1.
The camera locations for the second rotation will be announced on June 1, which will kick-off the mandatory 90-day notification period at four new community safety zone locations.
