Currently it's over 500 streets, and that's just in Toronto and not counting the suburbs.

Well being the fact wiz that you are - why don’t you look up how much the accident rate per month fell on Parkside after the camera was installed - look forward to you coming back with your findings.
That is not true! If you drive around the city on main roads, you will see posted signs about Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, Sept to June, 50KM and outside of that time, 60 km. The other thing worth noting is that these cameras were rarely installed at schools on a side street; they were mainly on the main roads, where folks tend to be a little harder on the pedal.
Many side streets have speed bumps where the posted limit is 30–40 km/h, but you rarely see them on major roads. I honestly can’t think of a single main artery with a speed bump. Maybe there is one, but nothing comes to mind.
This a much better solution, and will probably save many more lives than speed cameras ever will

Ontario invests $210M in traffic calming measures to replace speed cameras
The Ontario government is investing $210 million to support increased road safety in school and community zones without using speed cameras, which aligns with what residents in the province want, according to a new poll.
The province made the funding announcement on Thursday, saying the money will be invested into the Road Safety Initiatives Fund (RSIF) to support increased road safety in school zones and community safety zones.
The measures to increase road safety would include traffic-calming infrastructure like speed bumps, raised crosswalks and roundabouts, as well as high visibility signage and increased police enforcement in school zones and community safety zones where municipal speed cameras were previously located.
The new initiatives align with results from a new province-wide poll by Abacus Data also released on Thursday that found half of Ontarians (50 per cent) prefer traffic calming measures such as speed bumps, raised crosswalks, signage, roundabouts and increased police enforcement over automated speed cameras.
The poll found that one in three (33 per cent) expressed a preference for automated cameras, while 17 per cent said they are unsure.
The province said it would provide $42 million in immediate funding to support traffic-calming measures in school zones and community safety zones that previously had a speed camera. The amount for each city will be shared with them individually before cameras are turned off.
Early next year, eligible municipalities will be able to apply to the RSIF for the remainder of the funding and submit construction plans for traffic-calming infrastructure.
“Our government is standing up for drivers by banning cash-grab speed cameras and supporting proven road safety measures that will make a real difference,” Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria said.
“Ontario has some of the safest roads in North America and our new Road Safety Initiatives Fund will build on this record by ensuring municipalities have the resources they need to implement proven traffic-calming measures without making life more expensive for drivers.”
In response to public concerns over the increased use of municipal speed cameras as a revenue-raising tool, the province said it’s “Building a More Competitive Economy Act,” which received Royal Assent on Nov. 3, prohibits the use of municipal speed cameras as of Friday.
These concerns were driven by a significant increase in the use of speed cameras by certain municipalities, with more than 700 cameras added since 2019, the province stated in the news release.
The province added that use of the cameras resulted in millions of dollars in fines, including a single camera in the City of Toronto that issued more than 65,000 tickets and took in nearly $7 million in fines prior to 2025.

Main arteries cannot take speed bumps ok, the thought is nonsensical, is a recipe for disaster as cars could go out of control and even airborne if the driver doesn’t notice or respect the speed bump and snow removal would be for graders and snow blows and disaster ! Then the insurance companies would weigh in with significant lobby and Ford would retreat.
I have not seen any time sensitive posting for school zones on main arteries which allow for 60 km/h outside “ that time “ at least where I travel in Toronto. On the streets, where 40 km/h is posted, there are often crosswalks with crossing guards during school hours in those schools zones.
Unless these numbers refer to miles, I see no problem. This road can easily support 80km/h traffic. Just make the speed limit reasonable, and people will stop going over it.
Nobody wants a Nanny state, but some people can't even drive in a parking lot.
I have a manual and drive well, but these MF'rs who can't are going to end up screwing things up real bad for the rest of us and like someone else mentioned I can see insurance premiums going up eventually.
It's just going to take a few nasty incidences for them to change their minds about this. I never, ever, in my life thought I'd say speed cameras are a good idea.
15+ years ago? No.
These days? 1000% yes.
Too many of these new Canadians are wild and the women are even worse...(ladies)...

Richmond Hill, Woodbridge, and Brampton all have these along main arteries, which had speed cameras around school areas.
