The City of Greater Sudbury’s six automated speed-trap cameras are slated to become active today.
The city has declined to share what the speed threshold for tickets will be, but offered three fine examples on their website:
- 5 km/h over posted limit = $40
- 15 km/h over posted limit = $95
- 25 km/h over posted limit = $170
“As speed limits are not guidelines — they are the law — there is no need to disclose threshold speeds,” according to the city’s website. “Driving at, or below, the posted limit will ensure a ticket is not issued.”
Tickets are mailed to the registered plate owner of the vehicle within 30 days.
Demerit points are not issued since tickets are mailed to the registered plate holder and not necessarily the driver.
The automated speed enforcement cameras are at the following locations:
- Bellevue Avenue (between Picard Street and Ralph Street)
- Algonquin Road (between Maurice Street and Field Street)
- Falconbridge Road (between Donnelly Drive and Church Street)
- Main Street, Val Caron (between Justin Street and MR 80)
- Hillcrest Drive (between Brian Street and Mikkola Road)
- Gary Avenue (between Lasalle Boulevard and Madison Avenue)
The automated speed enforcement cameras are portable, and will be relocated every four months, with the new locations updated on the city’s website and shared via social media.
