People are vandalizing and even stealing new photo radar cameras that are a key part of Toronto’s campaign to slow motorists and help eliminate pedestrian and cyclist deaths. The cameras each cost about $50,000 to purchase and operate annually. Mayor John Tory has said Toronto was eager to start issuing tickets as soon as the photo-radar cameras were in place. However, enabling regulations passed by the provincial government in December mean vehicle owners will only receive a warning notice for the first 90 days the cameras and warning signs are in place. The city expects owners of vehicles caught speeding to start receiving warning letters this week.
