14 new speed cameras coming to Oakville

More than three years after the idea was first proposed, Automated Speed Enforcement cameras will be installed on Oakville streets by early December.

Called ASEs, the cameras are part of the Town’s Neighbourhood Traffic Safety Program, an ongoing effort to ensure Oakville residential streets are safe for road users.

“Safety on Oakville roads is non-negotiable,” said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. “This council is actively deploying Automated Speed Enforcement to curb speeding and enhance safety across our community zones, ensuring a safer environment for every resident.”

Signs are being placed in the initial 14 ASE locations to let residents know cameras will be installed in their neighbourhood in the coming months.

The first 14 ASE locations are:

• Colonel Williams Parkway from Stocksbridge Avenue/Richview Boulevard to Watercliffe Court
• Rebecca Street from Sussex Street to Bronte Road.
• Old Abbey Lane between Montrose Abbey Drive and Milton Road/ Northwood Drive
• Nottinghill Gate from Runnymead Crescent (easterly intersection) to Beechgrove Crescent
• Reynolds Street between Cornwall Road and Sumner Avenue.
• Kingsway Drive from Wynten Way/ Winterbourne Drive to Prince John Circle/ Sir David Drive
• Westoak Trails Boulevard from Brookhaven Crescent/Arbourview Drive to Colbeck Street/ Amberglen Court
• Pine Glen Road between Newcastle Crescent (westerly intersection) and Proudfoot Trail
• Sixth Line from Elm Drive to Upper Middle Road
• River Glen Boulevard from Towne Boulevard to Mowat Avenue
• Glenashton Drive from Eighth Line to Grand Boulevard
• North Ridge Trail between Glenashton Drive and Postridge Drive
• Sixteen Mile Drive from Preserve Drive to Larry Crescent/Isaac Avenue
• Post Road from Dundas Street to Threshing Mill Boulevard

Oakville’s ASE program will be rolled out in phases. The town’s 14 cameras will be rotated through various community safety zones, where studies have shown speeding has proven to be a consistent problem.

If a vehicle exceeds the designated speed limit in an ASE-enforced area, the ASE camera captures an image of the vehicle and plate, which is then reviewed by a provincial offences officer.

A ticket is issued along with a copy of the image to the registered owner of the vehicle.
