Photo radar is coming to Oakville streets. Here are the locations

The implementation of the automated speed enforcement (ASE) program in Oakville has been delayed for about a month and is now expected to be operational in January.

ASE — a form of photo radar — uses a camera to snap pictures of speeders who are then issued a ticket through the mail.

Generally, fines can reach as high as $588 for those going almost 50 km/h over the speed limit but most penalties are in the $80 to $90 range, according to provincial data.

The program, which is gaining popularity across Ontario, is used by municipalities to slow drivers down in areas that have been determined to be places where casualties can occur including schools, parks and facilities used by seniors also known as community safety zones.

As such, the goal is to change driving habits instead of handing out fines. which means the locations of the cameras are made public.

Overal, the program is designed to work in tandem with other road safety measures, such as traffic calming, community safety zones, speed display boards, education initiatives, and police enforcement.

For the most part, the cameras are portable and can be moved to different locations depending on where problem areas are identified.

Before the program begins, signs warning of their arrival are placed in the areas where the cameras will be installed. That process is currently underway in Oakville.

Fourteen cameras will be installed in Oakville, two in each town ward.

• Colonel Williams Parkway from Stocksbridge Avenue/Richview Boulevard to Watercliffe Court
