Burlington, Ont.—Sept. 16, 2025 — The City of Burlington has installed “Municipal Speed Camera Coming Soon” signs to give drivers at least 90 days’ notice before the Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras are installed and activated. These signs will be changed to “Municipal Speed Camera In Use” once the cameras are active.
ASE Camera Locations
The City will be installing six mobile ASE cameras near schools. They will be placed in Community Safety Zones where drivers need to reduce their speed and obey posted limits. Every six months, the cameras will move to another location to keep students safe.
At least 90 days before the cameras are active, there will be a “Municipal Speed Camera Coming Soon” sign. These signs will be changed to “Municipal Speed Camera In Use” once the cameras are active.

ASE Benefits
A number of studies show the benefits of municipal automated speed enforcement programs:
- Improved road safety - A SickKids and Toronto Metropolitan University study (July 2025) confirmed that ASE cameras are improving road safety. For every 1 km/h a driver slows down, it reduces the risk of a fatal collision by four to five per cent.
- Significant speed reduction - The City of Toronto found that ASE cameras reduced the number of speeding vehicles by 45 per cent across 250 urban school zones. This included an 88 per cent decrease in vehicles travelling more than 20 km/h over the speed limit.
- Cost effective - Speed limits are the law. Using ASE cameras allows police to focus on other community safety issues. The fines from the ASE cameras will go into the City’s Road Safety Reserve Fund. This fund is used for road safety initiatives, such as this one.
- Public support – A CAA South Central Ontario survey found that nearly three-quarters of Ontario drivers support ASE use in targeted safety zones such as schools and community centres.

Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward
“The safety of our community, especially children walking to and from school, is our top priority. Automated Speed Enforcement is a proven tool that will help reduce speeding, change driver behaviour, and make our streets safer for everyone. This program is about prevention and protection. Every dollar collected through ASE will be reinvested directly into road safety initiatives to further enhance the wellbeing of our residents.”
Craig Kummer, Transportation Director
“Burlington is committed to making our streets safer for everyone, particularly children and pedestrians. The Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) program is designed to reduce speeding in designated areas, with all revenue reinvested directly into safety initiatives. In its first phase, six locations were selected using evidence-based data to help protect Burlington’s most vulnerable residents.”
