NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY
*************************
The 90-day advanced notification period for the third rotation of automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras is in effect, beginning Oct. 1, 2024.
‘Coming Soon’ signs have been installed at four new ASE locations within community safety zones throughout BWG.
The second rotation of ASE cameras were installed and activated on Sept. 1, 2024. These cameras will be removed, installed at the four new locations, and activated as of Jan. 6, 2025 (following the mandatory 90-day advanced notification period). The third rotation will span from Jan. 6, 2025, until April 30, 2025.
The third rotation of ASE cameras will be installed at the following locations:
- Holland Street West — at Brian Collier Way
- Langford Boulevard — between Meadowhawk Trail and Blue Dasher Boulevard
- Miller Park Avenue — between Milby Crescent and Boyd Lane
- Colborne Street (southbound) — between Natale Court and Scanlon Avenue
On Sept. 3, 2024, BWG council were presented with initial findings from the pilot project and opted to continue the automated speed enforcement program beyond the one-year pilot. More information relating to future locations and other details will be shared when available.
“We are pleased to see that this pilot project is helping to reduce speeds and enhance safety measures in our community safety zones,” said Mayor James Leduc. “We know this program is working, and we look forward to reviewing the results from the pilot project after this third rotation is completed.”
ASE is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to detect and capture images of vehicles travelling more than the posted speed limit. The town has partnered with Global Traffic Group Ltd. for the duration of the pilot project, to provide technology, processing solutions, and ASE expertise to BWG.
Council endorsed the ASE pilot project in October 2023, which includes a total of three rotations. Each rotation begins with a mandatory 90-day notification period via advanced warning signs at each respective ASE location. The notification period is followed by an operational/in-use period of four months during which time the cameras are active, and tickets will be issued to vehicle owners caught speeding in the posted areas.
