After more than 32,000 speeding tickets were handed out in just three weeks by new automated speed enforcement cameras in community safety zones, council in the City of Vaughan decided to pause the program.

Mayor Steven Del Duca put forward the motion last week to pause the tickets until September, when council is due to receive a report from staff on ways the city can create more effective signage about the presence of cameras.

I walk as much as I drive. The people I see crossing the street while staring at their phone and/or wearing headphones is wild. As are the Leo who stand as close to the edge of the sidewalk as possible waiting for the light of to change, but you can't do much there.

You also get people crossing when the hand is up, which should also be a ticketable offense.

Not a garbage city, a city with equal responsibility and accountability.

If we're going to push for lower speed limits then I want to see adequate crosswalks, and vehicles and pedestrians being equally fined for infractions.

Neither activity is difficult business, yet we have a staggering amount of people driving who shouldn't be, and pedestrians who are gonna end up in the hospital due to their own stupidity.

So no example of a city that has successfully implemented all these ideas and was better for it?

Because there's lots of cities that have successfully done mostly the opposite and are better for it (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Montreal, Paris, Bergen, Oulu, etc)
