In a statement issued by the city, a total of 54,391 tickets were issued near schools in community safety zones.

According to the data, the ASE device located on Royal York Road north of Coney Road issued the highest amount of tickets for that month at 2,724.
That is roughly 10 per cent of all tickets issued in December.

“These numbers continue to show that speed cameras are an important tool in our Vision Zero toolbox that increase enforcement against those choosing to break the law,” Mayor John Tory said in the statement.
“Our work to implement the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan is continuing non-stop with more Automated Speed Enforcement cameras to be deployed along with other aspects of Vision Zero including road and intersection redesigns, speed limit reductions, the installation of more head start pedestrian signals and increased traffic enforcement by Toronto Police,” he added.
There are currently 50 ASE devices located across the city near schools in community safety zones. Two machines are located in each ward.
According to the city, the locations of these speeding cameras were determined based on data that showed areas where speeding and collisions were most frequent.
The ASE devices have now been installed at a fifth round of locations and signs have been posted to warn drivers, the city said.
