Waterloo Region says the long-anticipated automated speed enforcement cameras are now up and running near eight schools in the area.
“The automated speed enforcement program is one step forward to building safer communities in Waterloo Region,” Coun. Tom Galloway stated.
“This technology will enhance the safety and experience of all road users, particularly those using active transportation, as they walk and bike to school.”
