BRAMPTON— The City of Brampton continues to prioritize road safety by reinforcing the efficiency of its Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) program. Forty new cameras have been deployed to replace older units, ensuring the program remains effective and impactful. These new cameras feature the industry’s leading technology, producing excellent image quality and improving road safety.
Brampton’s ASE program is one of the largest and most ambitious municipal initiatives of its kind in Canada, demonstrating the City’s leadership in road safety. With 185 cameras set to be operational by the end of summer 2025, Brampton is implementing its ASE rollout at a significantly faster pace than other municipalities, where deployments of this scale often take several years. This accelerated implementation highlights the City’s dedication to creating safer streets and promoting responsible driving across the community.

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 calming, Community 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.
Recently, an ASE camera on Howard Stewart Road (Ward 6), strategically placed in front of Whaley’s Corners Public School, which welcomes students from kindergarten to grade 8, a child care centre and a community park, captured a vehicle travelling 133 m/h, where the posted speed limit is only 40 km/h.
Data from Brampton’s ASE program also revealed that at a camera location on Richmead Road (Ward 5), a residential neighbourhood with both an elementary school and secondary school metres away from the camera, captured a vehicle travelling 91 km/h over the posted speed limit.
In a Community Safety Zone on Mountainash Road (Ward 9), an area near a school, a busy shopping plaza and medical facilities, an ASE camera captured a vehicle travelling 86 km/h over the posted speed limit.
These speeds are dangerous and demonstrate the need for programs such as 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.
Community safety reminder: ASE ticket fraud prevention
The City of Brampton is reminding drivers and vehicle owners to remain vigilant about potential text message scams involving ASE tickets.
ASE tickets are never sent by text message. Fines are only issued by mail to the address to which the vehicle licence plate is registered. To pay a fine online, visit the City of Brampton website. The City does not solicit third-party websites for penalty payments.
Individuals who receive text messages about ASE tickets should not click on any links and are encouraged to report it to Peel Regional Police by visiting their nearest station. Such fraud reports are not taken over the phone.
