Hundreds of people have thrown their signatures behind a petition calling for “the immediate removal” of all speed enforcement cameras in Brampton while the city is set to add more by the end of the summer.
Brampton has one of the highest insurance rate in Canada.
It costs millions to refurbish just 1 road to safer standards while the cameras costs thousands to operate. Rehabilitation when due for resurfacing is the most economically viable option, hopefully most of the revenue from the cameras is dedicated to making safer streets. I’ll take the cameras in the meantime because speed is one of the biggest factors in roadway safety. Its not a perfect solution, but is far better than doing nothing.

There an more refurbishing options for improvements, and you can use them to incrementally test before the next resurface.
Jersey barriers, concrete planters, surface treatments/paint, flexposts, and snow clearing width reduction pip to mind.
