Doug Ford's Ontario PC government made the widely expected move to ban automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras in municipalities across the province, calling the devices a "cash grab." In place of speed cameras, the province aims to establish a new fund that would help municipalities identify alternatives to ASE cameras, noting "proactive traffic-calming" options including speed bumps, roundabouts, and other modifications to roadways, along with signage. Safety advocates, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, and even Toronto Police have spoken out in favour of the devices. "Municipal speed cameras have become nothing more than a tool for raising revenue," claimed Sarkaria, downplaying the safety benefits of the cameras. The new legislation — if passed — would come with requirements for municipalities with existing speed cameras in school zones to install large signage by mid-November, and permanent signs with flashing lighting by next September.
