Mississauga to expand speed camera program with 60 new pole-mounted, semi-fixed Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras over the next five years.

When we speak with residents, a top issue continues to be traffic safety. We’ve been improving our streets with speed bumps, crosswalks and electronic speed signs and edge-lines. However, making a major difference across the city takes time and some streets like our major roads are not suitable for measures such as speed bumps.

To bridge that gap, that’s where greater enforcement plays a role. In 2024, Regional Council approved 135 new frontline police officers and 90 civilian staff. This was on top of 70 new officers and 50 new staff in 2023. Each year, this was a record increase. Even with those record new investments though, there’s more we need to do. Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) dramatically increases our speed control capabilities.

Council approved renewing the program for 22 existing speed cameras.  Since July 5, 2021, speed cameras have led to a significant drop in speeding and increased compliance. The average decrease in operating speeds was 9 km/h and the average speed limit compliance increased by 30 per cent. As part of the Vision Zero Action Plan, the City’s current 22 speed cameras enforced speed limits at 124 locations in school-area community safety zones.  As residents know though, it’s work-in-progress. The cameras have caught people going as fast as 114 km/h in a 30 zone and hundreds driving over 80 km/h.

We will also be adding 60 semi-fixed cameras over the next five years. the new cameras will rotate to 100 locations throughout Mississauga. They are mounted on poles with permanent concrete bases and will be placed in major road school zones and other major roadways where fatal and injury collisions occur.

The proposed timing of the new camera deployments are as follows:
