Love or hate Ontario speed cameras? What people are saying about new CAA survey

Not all Ontario drivers like the idea of speed cameras, but they are apparently working to slow down excessive speeding, a new CAA survey reveals. CAA South Central Ontario polled 1,500 drivers from March 7 to 19 , and learned almost one in four had already been ticketed by one of the province's automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras. Although ticketing has increased, driving habits have changed because of speed camera use, CAA found. CAA also noted 83 per cent of Ontario drivers have witnessed someone speeding, with 43 per cent admitting they had exceeded speed limits while behind the wheel. In a recent Reddit thread , a user shared the results of the CAA survey, which showed 73 per cent of drivers support speed cameras. According to the province, there are now 43 municipalities in Ontario using automated speed enforcement after they were authorized in 2017. 'Ontario's ASE framework is designed to decrease speeding and increase safety,' the province said in an earlier email to Metroland Media. 'It allows municipalities to use camera-based enforcement in designated school and community safety zones, where speed limits are under 80 km/h and there is a risk of speed-related collisions or the presence of vulnerable pedestrians.' However, the province doesn't enforce or regulate the cameras. And many drivers have expressed frustration about the cameras. Disclaimer: Reader survey results are not scientific.

Are Ontario speed cameras changing driver behaviour? Here's what a new survey revealed

Like it or not, automated speed enforcement (ASE) appears to be making positive changes in driver behaviour, according to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA). New findings from CAA South Central Ontario suggest automated speed enforcement, also known as photo radar, is prompting drivers to slow down or avoid areas with speed cameras altogether. Survey results released July 23 show 23 per cent of Ontario residents have received a ticket from an ASE camera this year, up from 17 per cent in 2024. Anger toward speed cameras has boiled over in some communities, with reports of vandalized cameras in Oakville and a petition in Brampton demanding the cameras be removed. While ticket volumes have increased, Michael Stewart, community relations consultant for CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) said the speed cameras have generally helped to make the roads safer. 'When drivers choose to slow down or change their routes because of photo radar, it means the technology is doing what it's meant to, reminding us to be more mindful behind the wheel,' he said in a media release . The survey reveals most Ontario drivers (73 per cent) slow down when nearing an ASE camera and more than half (52 per cent) say they are unlikely to speed up after they pass through an ASE zone. The latter increased from 44 per cent in 2023. The survey also determined nearly half of drivers (46 per cent) avoid driving on roads with known speed cameras. 'These insights show how useful a tool ASE cameras can be,' Stewart added. 'This technology isn't about 'gotcha' moments; it's about preventing real harm and changing driver behaviour.' While drivers hate to be ticketed, the CAA survey finds widespread support for speed cameras in school zones. Nearly three-quarters of Ontario drivers (73 per cent) support the use of ASE in target areas such as school zones or near community centres and 76 per cent of Ontarians believe cameras deter speeding, the survey suggests. 'Our research shows that ASE continues to have strong public support and can be effective in getting drivers to change their behaviour. While speed cameras may not solve every road safety issue overnight, they play an important role in nudging driver behaviour in a safer direction,' Stewart added. CAA warns however, that to promote public acceptance of speed cameras, municipalities should focus on road safety benefits, while downplaying the cash grab perception. 'These cameras should never be used as a revenue generator, but rather, as a method to help protect road users and encourage safer driving habits,' Stewart said. 'CAA SCO will continue to advocate for standardized practices across municipalities regarding ASE cameras to ensure effectiveness across our communities.' According to provincial legislation , speeding one to 19 km/h over the maximum speed limit in a community safety zone or school zone will cost you $5 per kilometre, plus an administrative penalty. Travelling 20 to 29 km/h over the limit nets a fine of $7.50 per kilometre. Thirty to 49 km/h over the limit results in a fine of $12 per kilometre. Fifty km/h over nets a fine of $19.50 per kilometre. Driving 40 km/h or more over the speed limit on roads with a speed limit less than 80 km/h can also result in stunt driving charges . The penalties include an immediate 30-day driver's licence suspension, 14-day vehicle impoundment, a minimum fine of $2,000 and six demerit points upon conviction. Error!
