So here’s the thing, Doug Ford and critics of speed cameras do sometimes have a point. Many cameras are overly sensitive or placed on roads where the speed limit is set lower than what most drivers naturally go, leading to tons of tickets.
But the answer isn’t to ban all cameras as a knee-jerk reaction. The real solution is to use them properly and put them in high-risk areas like school zones or places with lots of pedestrians, and make sure the speed limits actually make sense.
They should’ve been placed in very specific areas only (e.g., school zones), the ones in areas that make no sense should’ve never happened in the first place and Doug is right when it comes to wanting to make money.
Since they’re getting rid of it completely there should be speed limit checkers that replace those cameras, plus in all school zones there must be a limit that is slower than the average like turning a 60 to a 40 zone during school hours but the sign has flashing lights.
They can also look to adding regulatory signs such as right turns aren’t permitted on big intersections where a school is nearby.
„Law and Order“ politician outlawing tool for enforcing law and order.
If he had a track record of supporting infrastructure that supported better transportation options it might not be a terrible thing, but as it is this is just more of the status quo. Drivers know the chances they’ll get a ticket are tiny, so they do whatever they want.
I’ll be *pissed* if this results in my municipality replacing the school zone cameras with speed bumps, especially since my municipality hasn’t the slightest clue how to do a speed *hump* (or why they should) instead of a speed *bump.*
I support this. In toronto it really feels like a cash grab. Lowering speeds in areas that use to be 60 and dropping it to 40. And they even put it in areas with no schools.
