Photo radar cameras activated in Orillia: Here's what you need to know
Motorists in Orillia will need to pump the brakes with two new automated speed cameras in action this week. A memo on Wednesday from the City says photo radar cameras stationed at Park Street and Fittons Road West will be operational 24/7 starting this week, with reduced speed limits of 40 kilometres per hour through those areas. The new Community Safety Zones with 40km/h speed limits were introduced in April, and include Fittons Road West, Park Street, and Westmount Drive South, which were identified as priority locations based on speed and safety following a data-driven review conducted by city staff. Fines are increased for traffic violations in Community Safety Zones. 'Do the limit. Don't get a ticket,' the City stated. Signage warning motorists about the coming cameras had been in place for the required 90 days before activation. Motorists will now notice replacement signs reading 'Speed Camera in Use.' Tickets are issued if a speed camera captures a vehicle exceeding the posted limit. The photo is then reviewed by a Provincial Offences Officer, and a ticket is sent, along with the image, to the registered plate owner, which must be paid or disputed within 30 days. The penalty is a fine, no demerit points are applied. The Westmount Drive South automated speed camera is not active at this time. The City didn't provide a timeline for when it would be operational.
