Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to enforce speed limits, which helps make roads safer for all users.
ASE is designed to work in tandem with other road safety measures, such as
traffic calming,
community safety zones, digital traffic calming signs, education initiatives, and police enforcement, to help improve safety for people of all ages by:
- increasing speed compliance
- altering driver behaviour
- increasing public awareness about the critical need to slow down
An ASE system captures and records images only of vehicles travelling in excess of the posted speed limit in school zones and community safety zones, with tickets issued to the registered plate holder regardless of who was driving. This will result in a
monetary fine, but no demerit points will be applied.
The fines for speeding in a Community Safety Zone are as follows:
- 1 to 19 km over the limit is $5.00 per kilometre plus costs
- 20 to 29 km over the limit is $7.50 per kilometre plus costs
- 30 to 49 km over the limit is $12.00 per kilometre plus costs
Leading the Way in Creating Safer Streets
The City of Brampton was one of the first municipalities in Ontario to implement ASE, introducing its first notification sign on December 19, 2019.
The program now has 50 cameras and will expand capacity with a new regional processing centre and 185 more cameras by 2025.
To build awareness, signage is installed at entry points in to the city to advise motorists that ASE is in effect and that speeding is not tolerated in the community. Everyone has likely exceeded the speed limit at one time or another, but with clear signage posted, ASE is the reminder we ALL need to slow down and help keep our communities safe.
Brampton Opens New ASE Processing Centre to Enhance Road Safety
In September 2024, the City of Brampton officially launched its new Automated Speed Enforcement Processing Centre, strengthening its leadership in road safety across Ontario. This significant investment will accelerate the processing of infractions, deter speeding and improve overall road safety, reinforcing Brampton's commitment to safer streets and setting a new standard for road safety enforcement in the province.
