WATCH ABOVE (July 6, 2020): Automated speed enforcement cameras begin ticketing in Toronto. Miranda Anthistle has more. – Jul 6, 2020

In the third month of tickets being issued through automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras, the City of Toronto says about 9,719 fines have been mailed out to drivers across Toronto.

The tickets were issued between Sept. 6 and Oct. 6.

Tickets through ASE cameras are fines only; no demerit points are issued. The fines are also billed and mailed to the registered vehicle owner, regardless of who was driving. The registered vehicle owner’s driving record will not be impacted through these tickets, the city said.

The camera on Gateway Boulevard in Ward 16 – Don Valley East recorded the most tickets at 955, which accounts for almost 10 per cent of all issued tickets.

A driver speeding at 78 km/h in a 30 km/h posted zone received the most expensive ticket at $706 on Bicknell Avenue in Ward 5 – York-South Weston.

In the second month, from Aug. 6 to Sept. 5, the city says 15,175 tickets were mailed out with 1,198 repeat offenders. In the third month, 9,719 fines were issued, with 604 repeat offenders.
