The Ontario Government passed legislation to ban speed cameras across the province, in the next two weeks.
It’s currently unclear when the premier plans to put in alternative traffic calming measures will replace speed cameras.
Ford stressed that speed cameras don’t work, despite evidence from researchers for the Hospital for Sick children saying otherwise.
Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sakaria could not give a timeline for new traffic calming replacements, “Ultimately we’ll have temporary signage, larger signage that will be installed before the 14th in all of the … municipal speed camera-impacted zones,” he said after question period.”
Ford says there will be a new fund set aside to help municipalities put new traffic calming measures like speed bumps, raised crosswalks, and roundabouts, but the government has not yet provided an amount.
