Regional Automated Speed Enforcement
Automated speed enforcement (ASE) is a system that uses a camera and speed measurement device to enforce speed limits. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit in an ASE-enforced area, the system captures the image and it is reviewed by a provincial offences officer. The ticket, which contains a digitized copy of the image and an enlargement of the license plate, is sent only by mail to the registered plate holder. Tickets are not communicated through text or emails.
When an ASE camera is in the area, vehicle operating speeds are reduced by approximately 10 km/hr and speed limit compliance increases by approximately 25%.
Based on the positive results of the current ASE program and the introduction of a Regional administrative penalty system, Regional Council approved expanding the program to an additional 60 fixed ASE cameras. These cameras will be located throughout York Region between 2024 and 2026, with 20 of them being installed by the end of 2024.
Regional ASE cameras are only authorized for use in school areas and community safety zones. ASE warning signs were installed in June 2024 and were in place for a minimum of 90 days before camera activation. Signs are replaced with camera in-use signs when ASE is activated.
A map and a list of the York Region ASE locations is available here. Additional ASE locations may be operated by the nine local cities and towns.
ASE location in Markham:
- 14th Avenue, west of McDowell Gate - Trillium School
Bayview Avenue, north of Willowbrook Road - Thornlea Secondary School
Highway 7, east of Robinson Street - St. Patrick Catholic Elementary School
Leslie Street, south of Highway 407 - St. Robert Catholic High School
McCowan Road, north of Carlton Road - Markville Secondary School
