Automated Speed Enforcement

All charges are first reviewed by a Provincial Offences Officer. If warranted, an Offence Notice Penalty Order (fine), with a copy of the captured image, is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle within 30 days, with no demerit points issued.

There will be no disclosure with respect to camera active times under the Program. Observing posted speed limits 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, will ensure that drivers are not issued a penalty notice under the ASE Program.

The registered owner of the motor vehicle is liable for the speeding ticket/penalty notice. Owners disputing the alleged contravention have the following options available to them:

• Pay the Penalty Notice
• Request a review by a Screening Officer
• Request a review by a Hearing Officer

Convicted owners will not be subject to demerit points. 

You can pay your penalty notice: 

• Online using the payment portal
• In person at 100 Dissette St., Units 7&8 by cash, cheque (made payable to the Corporation of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury) or debit.
• By Mail to:

No, we do not disclose threshold speeds. Speed limits are not guidelines – they are the law. Driving at, or below, the posted limit will ensure a ticket is not issued.

No, demerit points are not issued. A fine is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle, regardless of who may be driving the car.

Under the Highway Traffic Act, drivers can be held responsible for how their vehicles are being used. ASE systems cannot capture images of drivers or passengers so owner liability is in effect and results in the registered plate holder receiving the ticket.

A Community Safety Zone is an area designated through a By-law (that is passed by council) to identify it as a road segment of higher risk or concern. Certain Highway Traffic Act fines (including speeding) are doubled in Community Safety Zones, which are mostly located close to schools and school zones.
