Be wary of your driving fellow South Etobicoke motorists.

Starting July 6 the City of Toronto will begin issuing speeding tickets using automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras that will mail the tickets to vehicle owners.

Mayor John Tory announced the 50 enforcement cameras will begin issuing tickets to lead-footed drivers who speed starting on July 6.

“If you ignore the clearly posted warning signs [and] speed limits, you will get a ticket for speeding in these zones,” Tory warned.

The program was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic which began in mid-March. However, over the last few months although car traffic has decreased, there has been a spike in speeding and stunt driving.

He said between March 23 and April 27, the Toronto police saw a 600 per cent increase in stunt driving. Ironically one of the worst strip in our area for racing is Horner Ave., near Sir Adam Beck Jr. School, where there has been more than 6,000 incidents, according to police statistics.

The new ASE systems were installed in community safety zones, near school zones and can rotate as the city deems necessary.

There are about 16 or more such traffic cams that will be activated in our community. Their locations include:

-Bloor St. W. and The East Mall
