From Safe Parkside: look what happened on Parkside Drive after Premier Doug Ford banned speed cameras.

Crazy how similar that looks to the data from the Ottawa post speed cam monitoring (showing percentage of vehicles traveling 15km/h or more over the posted limit)

Same thing happened in calgary when smith declared speed cameras illegal outside of construction zones. I never thought I'd miss the photo radar ghost cars, but holy shit the aggressive drivers are getting worse

As someone who lives on Parkside the change was instant. I'm glad we have the data to support what I and this lil' guy experience every day. Performative tough on crime, too bad nothing can be done to make life safer. No integrity TO talking about this crime and danger 🤷

I am still convinced that the reason Doug Ford was so against speed cameras is because he (or someone he knows) got ticketed by one (basically - just like his deal with bike lanes, where he's against the ones that specifically impact him). It would be interesting to get a FOI request just to see.

Of the many choices that should disqualify this government from leadership, this one might be the most egregious because it was so predictable, pig-headed, anti-democratic, and dangerous.
