Deferred from April 19, 2023 Council Meeting

  • Recommended Motion:

    Whereas speeding on our roads is a major concern in our community,

    And whereas speeding can occur in all areas of our community,

    And whereas our municipality has limited resources to implement speed mitigation road design and re-design,

    And whereas s.205.1 of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) provides that Automated Speed Enforcement systems (ASE) may only be placed in designated community safety zones and school safety zones,

    Now therefore be it resolved:

    1. That the Regional Municipality of Waterloo request that the Ontario Government amend s.205.1 of the HTA to permit municipalities to locate an ASE system permanently or temporarily on any roadway under the jurisdiction of municipalities and as determined by municipalities and not be restricted to only community safety zones and school safety zones; and further

      1. the Ontario Minister of Transportation;
