Town Of Stouffville Launches Automated Speed Enforcement Program To Enhance Road Safety

14 March 2025

The Town of Stouffville has officially launched its Community Safety Camera Program, utilizing Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) technology to improve road safety and encourage compliance with speed limits. The program is specifically focused on areas with vulnerable populations, such as school zones and community safety zones, where maintaining safe speeds is critical.

Designed to increase speed compliance, alter driver behaviour, and reinforce the importance of adhering to speed limits, the ASE program is an important step in protecting Stouffville’s most vulnerable road users. Studies have demonstrated that ASE is an effective tool in reducing vehicle speeds, improving driver awareness, and decreasing pedestrian injuries and fatalities.

In November 2024, ‘Coming Soon’ signs were installed at all eight Council-approved locations where the pole-mounted speed cameras would be placed. These cameras will be active and operational as of March 17, 2025.

The Province of Ontario has set standardized fines for ASE-detected speeding violations under Ontario Regulation 355/22:

  • 1 to 19 km/h over – $5.00 per km
  • 20 to 29 km/h over – $7.50 per km
  • 30 to 49 km/h over – $12.00 per km
  • 50 km/h or more over – $19.50 per km

The penalties will also be subject to a Victim’s Justice Fee and the MTO Search Fee. Tickets will be issued through the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) and mailed to the registered vehicle owner within 30 days of the offence. These penalties include a monetary fine but do not result in demerit points or impact insurance premiums. Residents can learn more about the payment or appeal process by visiting the Town’s Safety Camera Penalties page.

Stouffville’s Community Safety Camera Program works alongside other traffic control measures, including education, enforcement, and engineering, to reduce speeding and enhance safety for all road users. The revenue generated will help cover program costs and support other safety initiatives in the town.

The ASE system operates by using a camera and speed sensor to detect speeding vehicles. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the system automatically captures an image of the vehicle. A Provincial Offences Officer then reviews the image, and if confirmed, a Penalty Order (ticket) is issued by mail.

Residents are reminded that the Town of Stouffville will never issue tickets or request payment by phone, email, or text message. Official tickets will only be sent by letter mail. Additionally, York Region operates its own separate Automated Speed Enforcement Program. For details on their initiative, residents can visit York Region’s Automated Speed Enforcement website.

Any amount over the posted speed limit can result in a ticket. The simplest way to avoid fines is to comply with speed limits at all times, especially in designated safety zones.
