Despite study findings and the opinion of police associations and municipalities to the contrary, Ford said speed cameras don’t slow people down, and the province plans to establish a new provincial fund to help municipalities put in place other “proactive traffic-calming initiatives that stop people from speeding in the first place.” That includes speed bumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks and curb extensions
My municipality already has this fund. They are funding projects like that using the revenue from the speed cameras. We all know ford will back off with these improvements once the cameras are removed.
Hate that guy
The icing on the cake is it was his government that allowed the cameras in the first place. But now suburban voters are upset that they are expected to follow the rules of the road so now he calls the cameras a tax grab to keep his voter base, using typical populist politician techniques like lying about their performance and effectiveness.
Ford is a guy with a car name who keeps trying to make the world a nicer place for cars at the expense of everything else.
Yup. Ontario’s premiere is a fuckin car wearing a poorly tailored man suit.
let’s remove all video surveillance then ? Right ? Right ?
