Speed Monitoring
York Region places speed monitoring boards along Regional roads to monitor excessive speeding. These devices have been shown to increase compliance to the posted speed limit. The board measures the speed of passing vehicles and displays it as they pass. This encourages drivers to stay within the speed limit.
The speed of passing vehicles is stored and analyzed. If there is excessive speeding in the area, York Region will create a plan for speed limit enforcement.
Residents can report aggressive or dangerous driving by contacting York Regional Police directly through the following:
- Dialing 9-1-1 where unsafe traveller behaviour is an immediate danger to public safety
- Road Watch
- Report a Community Concern to York Regional Police
- Review York Regional Police's Community Safety Data Portal
