The Town of Innisfil confirmed on Wednesday that they will be adding two new speed cameras and moving their current ones to new locations.

Innisfil’s cameras are currently stationed on King Street near Cookstown Central Public School and Innisfil Beach Road near Town Square. In a news release, the town stated that they will move to Innisfil Beach Road near Alcona Glen Elementary School and Webster Boulevard near Lake Simcoe Public School.

The town also confirmed that new cameras will be added on 9th Line near Goodfellow Public School and Young Street in the Stroud Area. They are set to be activated just before the start of the upcoming school year.

‘Coming Soon’ signs must be placed in the new speed camera areas at least three months before activation to comply with the Highway Traffic Act. Once in use, the town says they will be changed to ‘Municipal Speed Camera In Use’ signs.

The town explained that their automated speed enforcement (ASE) program uses a rotational model to cover locations that are identified as ‘high-risk’ areas that could benefit from traffic calming.

ASE revenue, according to the town, will cover the program’s cost and the maintenance of other traffic initiatives that make their roads safer.
