Photo radar camera now active in Innisfil community to deter speeding

Share

Motorists driving through Innisfil will have to keep an eye on the speedometer with the town's new photo radar camera now active.

The town’s first speed enforcement camera was installed on Jans Boulevard, south of Westmount Avenue, near Nantyr Shores Secondary School. It was activated last week following the mandatory 90-day notice for drivers.

Signage in the area now alerts motorists that automated speed enforcement is operational.

“We’ve heard from residents that speeding is an issue in our community. Our goal with this program is to encourage people to take note of their speed and drive more cautiously,” noted Mayor Lynn Dollin.

The town will relocate the camera to designated community safety zones every few months to curb poor driving behaviours.

Registered owners of vehicles captured by the camera exceeding the posted speed limit will receive a ticket in the mail.

The town says fines are based on how fast the vehicle was travelling and follow the Highway Traffic Act.

“Unlike regular speeding tickets, speed camera infractions have no effect on insurance, nor do they affect a driver’s record,” the town added.

Revenue collected through the program will be used to offset the cost of the program, with any additional funds reinvested in other road safety initiatives.
