New data from the City of Toronto’s speed cameras shows a “significant” reduction in speeding as well as overall vehicle speeds since the program was launched.
Between January 2020 and December 2022, researchers from SickKids and Toronto Metropolitan University collected speed and collision data at the more than 200 locations that had an Automated Speed Enforcement device. Although school closures and stay-at-home orders had some impact on the research, “substantial” data was also collected during normal periods of vehicular traffic, according to a media release from the City of Toronto.
Tellingly, the data also suggests vehicle speeds increase when ASE devices are removed. According to the report, speeds at 39 different locations increased when the devices were removed, though did not reach pre-ASE speeds. The study also found the percentage of drivers exceeding the speed limit decreased at 80 per cent of locations with an ASE device. Excessive speeding – driving over the speed limit by 20 km/h or more – was also reduced by 87 per cent after the placement of an ASE device.
