After three months in their initial locations, the city’s four automated speed enforcement cameras have been moved … which was always the plan.
The cameras are to be rotated between 16 pre-selected school zone locations every three months – a cycle that began in August, with the first move on Nov. 1.
They’re now found in front of:
- Taylor Evans Public School on Stephanie Drive
- Cornerstone Christian School on Forest Street
- John McCrae Public School on Water Street
- St. Joseph Catholic School on Guelph Street.
“If a driver exceeds the speed limit in these areas, the registered owner of the vehicle will be automatically ticketed while cameras are in use,” explains a post on the city’s website. “Lower speeds are proven to reduce the seriousness of injuries from a collision.”
The automated cameras spent their first three months of operation in front of:
- Westwood Road Public School on Westwood Road
- St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic School on Colonial Drive
- King George Public School on Metcalfe Street
- Fred A. Hamilton Public School on Ironwood Drive.
Next up, on or soon after Feb. 1, they’ll be moved to:
- St. Paul Catholic School on Clairfields Drive East
- Victory Public School on Exhibition Street
- Ecole Guelph Lake Public School on Severn Drive
- Brant Avenue Public School on Brant Avenue.
That leaves the final four locations of the cameras' first year in operation in Guelph, from May 1 through July 31, as:
- Ecole Arbour Vista Public School on McCann Street
- William C. Winegard Public School on Lee Street
- Central Public School on Dublin Street North
- June Avenue Public School on June Avenue.
