It's been that way for many years (some of them where you wouldn't see a construction worker during the year). Thankfully, OPP isn't often exploiting that turd for revenue generation. There are more people pushing 172 tickets in those zones than driving at 80 km/h.

The reduced lanes on The Gardiner are currently a limit of 70 Kmh (though I question the legality of the signage) and I doubt anyone is doing less than 100 through there.

Hmm, <checks map> I know where those two streets are in Orangeville. At least they both have a school on them, which is probably where they'll put the camera.

The main traffic using those streets, will be local residents going to and from home, and local residents driving their kids to and from school. So, any tickets that those cameras do hand out, will be mostly to the local residents themselves, getting what they asked for.

The camera on Alder will be west of Ridell (by-pass) and there is no school on that section.

It is my hope that some of the proponents of this installation will be the first to receive tickets. I rarely use either of those streets, but those who live in the area have no other way to or from their homes. Eventually some of them will forget and drive through there at a normal speed (50 kph) and get dinged with a ticket for 10 over.

I know of a stretch of road near me where residents were constantly hassling council to slow down traffic. Council installed effective speed humps. Immediately the residents were up in arms that the speed humps required them to slow down too much. They wanted speed control measures that limited the "other" drivers but not those that lived there. Morons. Speed humps were removed shortly after to stop the whining.
