Here's where Brampton's new speed cameras are located
CBC
Brampton has 20 new speed cameras and a centre to process the resulting tickets.
The new cameras are in addition to the city's existing 50 speed cameras, it announced in a Tuesday news release.
"The opening of the Automated Speed Enforcement Processing Centre is a game-changer for Brampton and solidifies Brampton's position as a road safety leader," Mayor Patrick Brown said in the release.
"This investment not only enhances our ability to enforce speed limits but also demonstrates our commitment to protecting our residents," he said.
The city told CBC Toronto last month that its cameras only worked for two hours a day due to the lack of processing capacity at Toronto's joint processing centre.
Those hours will be extended with the new $46 million centre, the release says.
Since the installation of the initial cameras in 2021, the city says it has issued 81 tickets per day, or 30,000 a year, totalling $3.45 million in revenue each year until 2023.
The city says it expects to have 100 speed cameras total by the end of this year and 185 total by next summer.
The ticket revenue will be used to recoup the money taken from Brampton's strategic reserves to foot the bill for the processing centre, city staff previously said.
Other municipalities can request processing time for their own cameras at Brampton's joint centre, the city release says.
The Ontario Traffic Council welcomed the news in its own release, with executive director Geoff Wilkinson saying the centre will allow "more flexibility to the municipality in addressing speeding within community safety zones with an important goal of changing driver behaviour and making Brampton roads increasingly safer."
