We had photo radar once, but then Progressive Conservative premier, Mike Harris, cancelled it, saying it was a cash grab. Well folks, it’s back tomorrow (Monday, June 29) at 50 locations around TORONTO. The cameras will capture an image of speeding vehicles, and the owners will get a ticket in the mail. Anyone driving over 49km/hour will be hit with a whopping fine of $718.
Indirectly, the coronavirus can be thanked for this. The virus cleared traffic off TORONTO’s major streets and boulevards – which seemed to be an open invitation to drive as fast as you can. Do it this coming week, and the city will reach deep into your wallet. It’s about time.
Done away with by Mike Harris, finally reinstated.
