The government of Ontario’s proposed bill to prohibit municipal speed cameras was passed into law this week, and will come into effect in November.
The measures, part of the Building a More Competitive Economy Act that was introduced on Oct. 20, came after Premier Doug Ford criticized the speed enforcement measures as a “cash grab.” He said his government would support municipalities that add speed bumps and roundabouts as a traffic calming measure.
