Speed monitoring and traffic calming help to manage speed and congestion and improve road safety on city streets.
Peel Regional Police responds to driving complaints for dangerous or aggressive driving, such as a driver running a red light or making an unsafe lane change at a high speed.
If you see dangerous or aggressive driving, report it to the Road Watch program.
Traffic calming uses physical devices or design features of roads, such as speed humps or raised pedestrian crossings, to help reduce excessive traffic speeds.
Before construction can begin, the City evaluates the suitability of the location and consults the community.
If you have any questions about traffic calming, call 311 (905-615-4311 outside city limits).
Closed circuit television (CCTV) traffic cameras are used to monitor congestion and respond to incidents or emergencies.
Staff at the Traffic Management Centre monitors all CCTV cameras on city roads. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation owns and monitors highway cameras.
The City’s traffic monitoring cameras collect anonymous information on a transitory basis. They don’t collect or store any personal information or identifiable vehicle data.
If you have any questions about CCTV traffic cameras, call 905‑615‑3600.
Traffic monitoring cameras are different from automated speed enforcement cameras used to enforce speed limits. If you have questions about speeding cameras, call 311 (905-615-4311 outside city limits).
The City collects traffic data manually and through automated methods. Data collected can include motor vehicle speed, volume of traffic on roadways, vehicle type classification, and road user activity at intersections.
The City may temporarily install video cameras to record activity over a short period of time in the public right of way. A notice with information about the study will be posted at each intersection.
Recordings are low resolution. Personal information, such as licence plate numbers, can’t be identified.
The video recordings are processed automatically to identify potentially hazardous road user activity. This helps identify potential safety issues on roadways and allows the City to find interventions.
The City permanently destroys the recordings after processing and keeps only the findings of the analysis.
