Speed camera update (Sept.11)

during my life in the area this road was 60, 50, 40 and for cameras they dropped it to 30, would it go to 20?! anything is possible lol
I bet everyone already drives 20, they do around here were any cameras are they are moving 10 below the limit.
 
They are doing construction in my area (for like the past year) and the other day I pulled up to a red light where police were directing traffic. The cop was waving me through, I pointed at the lights and shook my head. He got frustrated and walked over and said im waving you through, i replied you cant tell me to run a red, he said but im telling you too. I said but there is a camera! What happens in that case? I know moderators off topic!

That would be interesting. The cops in the camera center chuckling with glee as they fulfill their quota.

I've done the same thing in the US. Cop yelled at me. I'm on Ontario plates in the US, if I ran the stop sign, he'd probably yell at me and maybe give me a ticket. If cops want you to ignore traffic signs/signals, they should disable/bag them to make it very clear that they are sole authority. That would solve the redlight camera issues too as there would be no red light in the pictures so they couldn't issue tickets.

You are technically required to follow the lawful orders of a peace officer. If they are controlling the intersection then you should be following them over the posted signs (signals). Court would be a fun one tho.
 
Received my first camera charge yesterday - Town of Georgina speed cameras (Church St. Westbound - West of Shoreline Pl.) def in operation now
:(
38km/h in 30km/h Community Safety Zone - so much for whole "10 over" thing, so be aware..
$58.25 Total charge FYI (Includes "Victim Component Fee" $10 (wtf?) and Lic Plate search $8.25)
I dunno what to say about that other than that's stupid.
 
Parkside camera is up and down again.

TrailCam footage from May shows how the camera is chopped down with a Milwaukee reciprocating saw.

And it's down again. Although Toronto is not having to pay for the replacements, there are concerns that when the contract is next negotiated, city revenue will take a beating as suppliers will ensure a healthy safety net to cover all of the destroyed cameras.

The neighbourhood is asking for the city to fix the streets and leave the camera down. said that the city is only looking at cashing in and not safety
 
I hope the local residents around Forks of the Credit enjoy their new 40 speed limit for the whole length of the "good" part, especially when that camera goes up.
I was driving on a long straight four lane (plus centre turning lane) road last week with a 40 km/h speed limit, zero pedestrians and a speed camera. It was painful.

Not sure why the are not getting police more involved. I doubt a redesign is going to help since this person if very persistent, and it's not a wide spread issue (that I'm aware of).

Oh I think the redesign they meant was for the street, not the camera.
 
In my travels on the daily basis, I am finding that alot more of these cameras are being vandalized. Especially the ones that are mobile and are planted on the ground.
 
Has anyone been on cambellville ave lately. The residents there are gonna be ******! Speed bump overkill! So dumb because it punishes the people that actually live there and have to deal with it every time they leave there home!
Oakville is installing all these weird small islands infront of schools? I assume they are traffic calming attempts. Wait till some old granna misjudges one of the chicanes and mounts one of the ramped curb thingies and takes out some people.

I saw a Oakville works truck parked infront of one the other day and the guy was smiling while eating his lunch! So great! Needs some kind of award and bonus for his exemplary service to the community!
