The City of Greater Sudbury has lined up six locations for the city’s six mobile automated speed enforcement cameras to shift into by October.

These new locations include:

Main Street, Val Caron (between Justin Street and Municipal Road 80)
Bancroft Drive (between Kingsway and Bellevue Avenue)
Algonquin Road (between Maurice Street and Field Street)
Municipal Road 80, McCrea Heights (between Robin Avenue and Hubert Street)
Garson Coniston Road (between Maki Street and Falconbridge Road)
Howey Drive (between Downing Street and Somerset Street)

The cameras have repeatedly proven effective at slowing traffic, and last year resulted in the issuance of 12,796 tickets, which brought in approximately $1.3 million in fines.

Factoring in an allowance of $298,847 for uncollected fines and $322,387 in operating costs, the city’s net revenue was $753,003.

These funds are being used on traffic safety efforts throughout the city, including an expanded flexible bollard traffic-calming program and gateway speed limits.

(Bollards are yellow posts placed at the sides and centre of roads to narrow them with the intention of slowing traffic. Gateway speed limits slow traffic to 40 km/h and 30 km/h in school zones within a fixed area indicated by signs showing where the gateway area “begins” and “ends.”)

Camera-derived funds are also being spent on permanent traffic-calming infrastructure, such as speed humps and raised medians.

While recent years have seen the city’s budget allowing for only one traffic-calming feature to be added per year, 2026 will see the city add eight, boosted by camera revenue.
