As part of Sudbury’s ongoing commitment to enhancing road safety, Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras have been moved to six new locations within the community. The cameras will be active in the new locations as of August 7.
The new locations are:
Garson Coniston Road (between Maki Street and Falconbridge Road)
Howey Drive (between Somerset Street and Downing Street)
Bancroft Drive (between Bellevue Avenue and Kingsway)
Moonlight Avenue (between Claude Street and Gagne Street)
Bancroft Drive (between Hazelton Drive and Estelle Street)
MR 80 – Guilletville (between Robin Avenue and Hubert Street) entering McCrea Heights
The cameras were originally launched at six locations on March 22, 2024, and will change locations approximately every four months.
Data collected from March to July 2024 indicates speed cameras significantly reduce both the percentage of vehicles speeding and their operating speeds while the camera is operational.
Algonquin Road (Speed Limit: 30 km/h)
Pre ASE: 88 per cent of vehicles were traveling more than 15 km/h over the limit, with an operating speed of 60 km/h.
During ASE: Only six per cent of vehicles were travelling more than 15 km/h over the limit, with an operating speed of 38 km/h.
Falconbridge Road (Speed Limit: 60 km/h)
Pre ASE: 25 per cent of vehicles were speeding, with an average speed of 79 km/h.
During ASE: Reduced to two per cent speeding, with an average speed of 63 km/h.
Bellevue Avenue (Speed Limit: 50 km/h)
Pre ASE: Seven per cent of vehicles were speeding, with an average speed of 59 km/h.
During ASE: Reduced to zero per cent speeding, with an average speed of 48 km/h.
Gary Avenue (Speed Limit: 40 km/h)
Pre ASE: 12 per cent of vehicles were speeding, with an average speed of 54 km/h.
During ASE: Reduced to one per cent speeding, with an average speed of 41 km/h.
Hillcrest Drive (Speed Limit: 40 km/h)
Pre ASE: 17 per cent of vehicles were speeding, with an average speed of 56 km/h.
During ASE: Reduced to zero per cent speeding, with an average speed of 39 km/h.
Municipal Road 15 (Speed Limit: 60 km/h)
Pre ASE: 36 per cent of vehicles were speeding, with an average speed of 81 km/h.
During ASE: Reduced to 12 per cent speeding, with an average speed of 62 km/h.
When the cameras are active, motorists photographed speeding through these areas will get a ticket. Like speeding tickets issued by police officers, the fine amount will be based on how much the driver was exceeding the posted speed limit. Tickets are mailed to the registered plate owner of the vehicle within 30 days. No demerit points will be issued by the Ministry of Transportation and no one’s driving record will be impacted.
The next six camera locations will be announced at a later date. For more information including fine examples and how to pay fines, visit greatersudbury.ca/ase.
