Just because there are no speed cameras, doesn’t mean there are no speed limits

By November 10, 2025Announcement, Resources

Following the Government of Ontario’s motion to ban speed cameras throughout the province as part of Bill 56, the City of Mississauga is ending its speed camera program as of the end of the day on Thursday, November 13.

November 7, 2025

The Government of Ontario has passed Bill 56Building a More Competitive Economy Act, 2025, an omnibus bill that includes amendments to the Highway Traffic Act to ban the use of speed cameras throughout the province. The Bill requires all municipalities to discontinue the operation of its speed camera program, also known as Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE). As a result, the City of Mississauga is ending its speed camera program and the 22 cameras currently operating will be decommissioned at the end of day on Thursday, November 13 in accordance with the new legislation.

What this means for drivers

  • Speed camera tickets will continue to be issued until the end of day on Thursday, November 13. All existing tickets are valid and must be paid or appealed by their due date. Pay or dispute a speeding ticket.
  • The City will coordinate the removal of all speed cameras and speed camera signage on municipal roads. Some speed cameras and speed camera signage may remain past November 13 but will not be operational.
  • The City’s 201 Community Safety Zones will remain which allows for enhanced police enforcement by doubling certain fines like speeding. All school zones in Mississauga are designated as a Community Safety Zone.
  • Removing speed cameras doesn’t mean that drivers are now allowed to go above a certain speed limit. The City continues to encourage all drivers to drive the posted speed limits, especially in school zones and community safety zones.

Slowing down can save lives

In Mississauga, speed cameras have proven to reduce speeds an average of 9 km/h, increasing the level of safety in the process. When people slow down, the risk of serious injury and death drops significantly.

Despite the Province’s decision, the City continues to remain committed to road safety. The City will continue to rely on existing road safety programs to help reduce speeding including traffic calming measures like speed humps or raised crosswalks, designating Community Safety Zones, installing Slow Streets bollards and continuing the school crossing guard program.
