eAwazLocal News

BRAMPTON, ON— The City of Brampton continues to strengthen its commitment to traffic safety by installing 40 additional Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras, getting one step closer to its goal of 185 cameras by the end of summer 2025. These newly installed cameras advance the City’s ongoing efforts to curb speeding and improve road safety for all. These cameras build on the 70 cameras already in operation, expanding Brampton’s ASE camera portfolio to 110 locations.

As one of the largest and most ambitious municipal ASE camera programs in Ontario, Brampton is leading the way in creating safer streets with the ASE rollout. Brampton’s ASE implementation is substantially faster than those of other municipalities, where deployments of this scale typically take several years.

About Brampton’s Automated Speed Enforcement Program

Automated Speed Enforcement uses a camera and speed measurement device to enforce speed limits. ASE systems are a proven traffic-calming tool using technology to help make roads safer for all users.

ASE is designed to work in tandem with other road safety measures, such as traffic calmingCommunity Safety Zones, digital traffic signs, education initiatives and police enforcement to help improve safety for people of all ages by:

  • increasing speed compliance
  • altering driver behaviour
  • increasing public awareness about the critical need to slow down

Statistics on Brampton’s ASE program, which supports investments for more cameras and the creation of additional Community Safety Zones, indicate an average decrease in vehicular speeds of 6.5 km/h across all ASE camera sites and up to 18 km/h in select locations.

​Within the first few days of the new ASE camera on Heart Lake Road being operational, a vehicle was caught travelling 146 km/h in front of Esker Lake Public School, where the posted speed limit is only 40 km/h.

Data from Brampton’s ASE program also revealed that at one camera location on Rutherford Road, in two instances, vehicles were captured travelling nearly 90 km/h over the posted speed limit.

In a Community Safety Zone near two elementary schools on Fletcher’s Creek Boulevard, an ASE camera captured a vehicle travelling 88 km/h over the posted speed limit.

These speeds are dangerous and demonstrate the need for programs like ASE to deter excessive speeding in Brampton.

City of Brampton’s commitment to road safety

Brampton is proactively working to protect residents, reduce traffic-related incidents and create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone in the community. The City has several initiatives in place to help calm traffic and improve safety for all road users.

In addition to the ASE program, Brampton’s traffic calming measures include a Neighbourhood Speed Reduction Program, brought forward in response to more than 2,400 service requests about concerns of aggressive driving and speeding on both local residential and neighbourhood streets in 2021 and 2022. The pilot program reduces speeds to 40 km/h in five neighbourhoods across the city identified in speed studies.

The City established 187 Community Safety Zones​ on roadways where public safety is of special concern, including near schools, daycare centres, playgrounds, parks, hospitals and senior citizen residences.

Brampton continues to implement other traffic calming measures, including flashing 40 signs, watch for children signs, pedestrian crosswalks and speed cushions.
