Doug Ford banned speed cameras. The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after the ban. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit. (feddit.uk)

Anything less is a cash grab since the fines doesn’t go back into the road system directly to actually induce long term change.

Your username is fitting with this one.

Every single municipality I checked out when these first came into effect put all funds above operation fees into road reconstruction for traffic calming measures. I worked with the City of Barrie to directly do a traffic calming assessment primarily funded through the use of traffic cameras.

Or how about we actually invest in good, cheap, efficient public transport? An actual rail network? A highspeed rail network?

I agree, but go check out the comments and petitions against the new high-speed line proposed and you'll see that were in the minority.
