Despite pushback in recent weeks at the municipal level around the Ford government’s plans to remove speed cameras, Brighton’s speed camera is coming down.
On Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, the Municipality of Brighton said in response to the province’s Bill 56 legislation, Brighton is phasing out its automated speed enforcement program by Nov. 14.
“The Municipality of Brighton remains committed to enhancing public safety and protecting persons using its municipal roadways,” said officials, in a release issued Thursday.
In the meantime, officials noted that the ASE camera on Elizabeth Street remains active and will continue to dish out tickets.
“Motorists are reminded that speeding infractions that are captured prior to Nov. 14, including outstanding infractions, will remain valid,” said municipal staff. “Speeding penalty orders will continue to be mailed to the registered vehicle owners.”
In line with the province’s latest directive as part of its move to do away with cameras, and as directed by the Ministry of Transportation, the municipality said additional speed limit signage will be installed around the schools and King Edward Park area to ensure drivers are reminded of the speed limit.
“The municipality continues to actively explore alternative traffic calming measures to ensure community safety zones and school zones remain safe for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers,” said officials.
