과속 카메라 단속 주의 – 토론토
과속 카메라(ASE) 는 Red Light 카메라와 유사하게 운전자가아닌 (과속) 차량만을 찍어 차주에게 벌금을 부과한다. 토론토시에는 시범적으로 50대의 카메라(선거구별로 2대씩)가 설치되어 있는데, 설치 장소는 3-6개월 단위로 변동이 된다.
경찰관에 의한 단속과는 달리 제한시속을 1km 만 초과해도 Ticket 이 발부되는 단점이 있지만 벌점이 없고 운전자가아닌 차주에게 책임을물어 자동차 보험료에는 영향을 미치지 않는다는 장점(?)도 있다. 제한속도 40, 50km Zone 을 통과할때는 각별한 주의가 필요하다.
참고로 7월6일-20일, 2주동안 50대의 카메라에의해 발부된 Ticket 은 7,645장, 최고 벌금액수는 $718 이라고 한다.
Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE)
Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is an automated system that uses a camera and a speed measurement device to detect and capture images of vehicles travelling in excess of the posted speed limit.
Last December, the city of Toronto began installing the cameras — a key part of its Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic-related fatalities.
The images captured are reviewed by Provincial Offence Officers and then tickets are issued to the owner of the vehicle regardless of who was driving. Upon conviction, the only penalty is a fine – no demerit points will be issued nor will the registered owners driving record be impacted.
50 ASE systems are installed on local, collector and arterial roads in Community Safety Zones near schools. Two systems per ward are installed through a data-driven approach that considers speed and collision data and will rotate every three to six months within each ward.
A total of 7,645 tickets were issued between July 6 and 20. the highest fine was $718.
