To increase safety in school areas and change driver behaviour, Vaughan is going to be the first municipality in York Region to have automated speed enforcement this week.

A camera and speed measurement device is going to be used to enforce speed limits in identified areas.

If a vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit in an automated speed enforcement area, the system captures an image, which is reviewed by a provincial offences officer.

If approved, an image of the offence, license plate and ticket with an associated fine will be mailed to the vehicle owner within 30 days.

In Vaughan, the enforcement system is going to be on Rutherford Road.

The move comes after York Region council launched a two-year automated speed enforcement pilot to determine the capacity of provincial courts to process the infractions, and to test the technology being used.
