The City says ASE cameras are installed in Community Safety Zones to help enhance safety for the most vulnerable road users, including children and seniors.
The original 75 ASE cameras were evenly distributed between wards with most being mobile and rotated regularly to address more areas with safety concerns and provide a wider-ranging deterrent effect.
The 75 new cameras have been installed using a data-driven approach that considers vehicle speed and collision history city-wide, rather than being evenly distributed between wards, to target locations with the most problematic vehicle speeds.

Up to 25 of the new cameras will be converted to permanent pole-mounted systems to address vandalism while others will remain mobile to help deter speeding in different areas.
“The cameras will help us remind drivers to reduce their speed and keep everyone safer on our roads,” Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said in a statement released Wednesday.
“Our goal is for no drivers to get a fine for speeding, but that’s only possible if everyone sticks to the speed limit and follows the road rules,” she said. “These new Automated Speed Enforcement devices will make our roads safer for families across the city.”
