A new poll released by Canada Pulse Insights for CityNews highlights the strong support among residents in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for increasing the number of speed cameras, especially in school zones. This follows a recent provincial regulation, which imposed a ban on municipal speed cameras effective November 14, 2025, raising concerns about road safety among the populace. According to the poll findings, a significant two-thirds of respondents express a desire for more speed enforcement measures to be implemented in their communities.
The poll reflects a growing awareness of traffic safety issues among residents, particularly in areas frequented by children. The feedback from the community may influence future discussions among local policymakers regarding traffic regulation and safety measures. The recent regulation banning municipal speed cameras has prompted residents to advocate for safer streets and potentially reconsider previous legislative decisions regarding speed enforcement.
This issue is likely to resonate not only in urban areas but also potentially in suburban regions within the GTA, as traffic safety becomes an increasing priority for families and local authorities alike. The findings underline a communal interest in developing strategies that enhance road safety for all citizens, particularly the vulnerable populations such as school children.
