 Quote:
Throughout this year though, if you are a Toronto driver, you'll notice photo radar cameras a lot more frequently considering the city is planning to install cameras in more than 700 locations as part of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE). The expansion is in correlation with last year's creation of 754 Community Safety Zones around schools.

The cameras are reportedly going to be installed predominantly in Community Safety Zones, meaning around schools other neighbourhoods that have reduced speed limits. What this means is that if a camera does catch you speeding, not only are you getting a ticket, but the fine is automatically doubled due to speeding in a safety zone.


 Quote:
Fines could range from $21 for going one km/h over the posted speed limit to $1,105-plus for 50 km/h or more.

Cost of Speed in Community Safety Zones
15 km/h over speed limit: $115, 0 demerit points
20 km/h over speed limit: $220, 3 demerit points
30 km/h over speed limit: $520, 3 demerit points
35 km/h over speed limit: $605, 4 demerit points
50 km/h over speed limit: $1,105, 6 demerit points

FYI: No demerit points if caught by photo radar, ticket paid

I have no problem with it being used in school zones, during school hours.

If it's 24/7, then...

I was looking at Waze on my way to work this morning and it does show red light cameras at intersections (at least the ones I know of). Is there a way to get an audio notification for them specifically?

Yes Waze will say "Red light camera reported ahead".

There are many cameras setup throughout the City already, but many of them don't work or are not activated. I remember hearing something about it being costly and the cameras within the boxes get moved from location to location. I wonder if thats the plan this time. 700 boxes seems like a lot. I wonder if the actual number of working/activated ones will be a lot less and this is more of a deterrent (ie scare tactic).

FWIW, Waze doesn't have a specific alert for speed cameras. Suggestion is to use Police instead.

Red light camera in the middle of a road, won't get people to slow down.

It does? everyone keeps telling me to use waze because it works with android auto but i remember using it back in the day and thought it didn't work very well, maybe it's changed since then.

i'll admit tho, in the mornings when i'm taking the kid to school i deadass don't go above 40km/h and make sure i come to a full stop at stop signs. i piss off alot of people running late for work but idgaf.

Waze has audio alerts, you just have to set it up.

Can't really use it to track 'moving' traps like these texting popo, but these photo radar, sure.

I never could get into Google Maps, due to the lack of popo traps/photo radar notifications. Though it does have some things Waze doesn't; Google Maps tell you which lane to stay in, etc...

Forgive me, I'm an idiot. I was clearly speaking with reference to red light cameras when the discussion is around photo radar.

Define 'mid-town'? Shiiiet ...

Times like this, perhaps I should've spent more on a newer model vehicle that has Apple CarPlay built-in, so there's more steering wheel/dash interaction, less phone screen interaction \:\|

I've switched to a phone holder that's 'lower', near the key/push-start area, which would still be a ticket if caught, but I'm touching it less now

Toronto police have released the results of last week’s zero tolerance distracted driving campaign.

Police say between Monday and Sunday, officers charged 670 drivers.

During the week, police patrolled Toronto streets on foot, bicycles, unmarked police vehicles, pick up trucks, as well as on TTC buses and streetcars.

I'm sure all these 'distracted driver' tickets are saving lives

What a fucking scam.

Ok, now the chick doing makeup or txting barreling down the 401 I get. The guy adjusting his phone or even replying to a txt while STOPPED at a light? Fuck off

The cell phone ticket penalties are pretty rough, so I don't think your average person stopped at a red light touching their phone to adjust it will necessarily get the ticket. Like, how many cops ticket you for going 10 over? There's gonna be some discretion.

At the same time, those guys on their phones at red lights still stopped 5 seconds after its turned green ...

I've noticed an abundance of people fully yacking away on their phone since i got back. like straight holding phones to their head having full out conversations while flying through don mills and sheppard during rush hour. cops need to book these people.
