Commitment to Road Safety Continues with New Locations for Automated Speed Enforcement

May 30, 2025

As part of the City’s ongoing commitment to enhancing road safety, Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras were moved to six new locations last week, and after a commissioning phase, will be activated Monday, June 2, 2025.

The new locations are:

  • Municipal Road 80, Hanmer (between Main Street and Yorkshire Drive) 
  • Kelly Lake Road (between Copper Street and Southview Drive)
  • Kalmo Road (between Main Street and Bodson Drive) 
  • Notre Dame Avenue, Hanmer (between Linden Drive and Oscar Street)
  • Barry Downe Road (between Lasalle Boulevard and Lillian Boulevard) 
  • Falconbridge Road (between Donnelly Drive and Church Street)

The cameras will change locations approximately every four months.

Data collected from August to December 2024 indicates speed cameras significantly reduce both the percentage of vehicles speeding and their operating speeds.

When the cameras are active, motorists photographed speeding through these areas will get a ticket. Like speeding tickets issued by police officers, the fine amount will be based on how much the driver was exceeding the posted speed limit. Tickets are mailed to the vehicle’s registered plate owner within 30 days. No demerit points will be issued by the Ministry of Transportation and no one’s driving record will be impacted.

The next six camera locations will be announced at a later date.
