Mayor Statement regarding Automated Speed Enforcement

Peterborough, ON - The Ontario government has indicated that it will table legislation this month to ban automated speed enforcement cameras across the province.

Mayor Jeff Leal has issued the following statement regarding Automated Speed Enforcement:

“I have sent a letter to Premier Ford to request that the provincial government continue to allow Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras in school zones.

“I join with many other mayors across Ontario who have come together to propose the same exemption for prospective legislation dealing with this issue.

“Peterborough City Council’s priority is the safety of children. We believe the implementation of ASE cameras will ensure the greatest safety level possible for our most vulnerable residents.

“Our children will always remain our top priority when it comes to safety."
