If you drive in Toronto, you know it’s nice to be prepared for what awaits you out on the road, and that includes knowing where the speed cameras in Toronto are — and just how much a fine might cost you if you’re caught going a bit too fast.
In 2020, the City of Toronto began using automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras all over the city in “community safety zones” — typically areas near schools and places with vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists — with the goal of improving safety and reducing speeding across the city.
Toronto speed cameras work by capturing images of vehicles that exceed the posted speed limits and issuing the registered owners a ticket by mail. If you’re caught speeding, the fine could be hefty, with the maximum fine upwards of $700, depending on how fast you’re going.
But here’s the kicker: No matter who’s behind the wheel, the ticket goes to the registered owner of the vehicle, which means you could get a fine in the mail even if someone else was driving your car. Thankfully, for that reason, no demerit points are issued for ASE tickets and your driving record won’t be impacted.
A study conducted over the first two years of the program revealed an overall 45% reduction in the proportion of people speeding and an overall speed decrease of around 7 km/h in areas with an active speed camera. According to the City, the ASE program issued over 276,000 speeding tickets in the first half of 2024 alone.
Toronto uses a data-driven approach to decide where these cameras go, based on things like traffic volume and past collisions. There are currently 75 speed cameras across the city, with three in each of Toronto’s 25 wards.
The locations rotate every few months, so if you’re wondering where they are currently, you can find a list of all the current speed camera spots in Toronto below. Keep these in mind next time you hit the road!
