Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) FAQs

​​​​​​​​​​​​

Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to enforce speed limits. It is a traffic calming tool designed to make roads safer for all users by capturing images of vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit in community safety zones.​

The system captures and records images of vehicles travelling in excess of the posted speed limit. The image is reviewed by a provincial offences officer. The ticket, which contains a digitized copy of the image and an enlargement of the plate portion, is mailed to the registered plate holder – regardless of who was driving.​

The City of Brampton was one of the first municipalities in Ontario to implement ASE. It is designed to complement other road safety measures, such as speed cushions, flashing 40 signs, digital traffic calming signs, community education initiatives and police enforcement. It improves road safety for people of all ages by increasing speed compliance, altering driver behavior and raising public awareness about the importance of slowing down.​

The fines for speeding in a Community Safety Zone are as follows:

  • 1 to 19 km over the limit: $5.00 per kilometer plus costs​
  • 20 to 29 km over the limit: $7.50 per kilometer plus costs
  • 30 to 49 km over the limit: $12.00 per kilometer plus costs
  • ​50 km over the limit or more: $19.50 per kilometer plus costs

You have up to 30 days from the time a ticket is issued to you, to pay or dispute it.
