WELLINGTON COUNTY – The potential locations for the county’s long anticipated automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras include some very busy roads in Wellington County.
A report going forward at Wellington County’s roads committee outlines the suggested locations for ASE camera pilot program which was approved by council earlier this year.
It recommends putting one camera in each of the seven municipalities in the county, which are required by legislation to be in either school zones or community safety zones (CSZ).
The trial locations suggested are:
- Brock Road South (Wellington Road 46) in Aberfoyle, from 225 metres north of Old Brock Road to 300 metres south of Old Brock Road for Puslinch
- Belsyde Avenue East (Wellington Road 18) in Fergus from Tower Street South/Highway 6 to McTavish Street for Centre Wellington
- Main Street North (Wellington Road 27) in Rockwood, from 30 metres west of Rockmosa Drive to 20 metres west of Edgar Bonner Avenue for Guelph/Eramosa
- Sligo Road East (Wellington Road 6) in Mount Forest, from 50 metres west of Church Street North to 125 metres west of London Road North for Wellington North
- Wellington Street South (Wellington Road 11) in Drayton, from Andrews Drive to Spring Street for Mapleton
- Trafalgar Road (Wellington Road 24) in Hillsburgh, from Church Street to 75 metres north of Jane Street for Erin
- Main Street (Wellington Road 123) in Palmerston, from Henry Street to York Street
“The seven CSZ locations were selected to provide one trial ASE location in each town and township in the county,” the report said. “This will give each town and township experience with ASE during the one year trial period prior to ASE being possibly implemented in the local municipalities.”
If approved, the report said staff will post the mandatory 90 day warning signs at the locations by mid-October, allowing them to be operational in early 2025.
Following the initial launch, it is proposed to implement the program at the other CSZs by September 2025.
