From CityNews, Oct 2, 2025, Brampton fighting to keep automated speed cameras amid proposed provincial ban.
Councillor Rowena Santos is leading the charge in Brampton, saying speed cameras save lives. She took CityNews to Main Street South, one of the areas with a speed camera, just steps away from churches, a high school, city hall and big downtown park.
“You can’t put speed bumps here so one of the only options we have in this area near a school is a speed camera,” said Santos.
Santos says thanks to the automated enforcement, drivers along this stretch have a 96 per cent compliance rate of the 50 km/hr. speed limit.
“They’ve received the warning here … they see there is a camera here and this is the street with the highest compliance in terms of people following the speed limit because we implemented it and gave people notice,” she explained.
