Sudbury’s speed cameras will move this month

Sudbury’s automated speed enforcement cameras are moving to new locations this month.

Sudbury’s automated speed enforcement cameras are moving to new locations this month.

Implemented in March 2024, officials with Greater Sudbury said the cameras have been effective in slowing average speeds in the areas they are deployed.

"We have seen significant reductions in the operating speed of those roadways, essentially down to near or at the posted speed limit," said David Knutson, the city's manager of traffic and transportation.

Knutson said the speed reductions often continue even after the camera is moved.

"We have been seeing at numerous locations speed reductions or lasting speed reductions, sometimes five to six kilometres per hour, which isn’t insignificant," he said.

Between March and November, 11,000 fines were issued. Knutson said ticket revenue will be allocated to the Road Safety Programming Fund.
