Discussion Speed Cameras or Speed Bumps?

Almost 70% of the income generated from speed cameras goes directly to the company running the cameras and not the city. If 6 million is generated the city takes home 1.8 million less some miscellaneous expenses. Total figure estimated to be 1.5 million from the 6 million total.

Doug Ford said speed bumps, especially multiple bumps per street can be built for as little as $1,500 each with virtually no maintenance. Why should the average citizen be forced to contribute millions of dollars to a company running the cameras. One would argue that speed bumps are more effective in school zones because they force the diver to slow down. Three speed bumps versus one camera the safety data would show less accidents with the bumps as opposed to the cameras.

Personally I think that speed bumps are way better, they're cheaper, less maintenance and they wont hurt you if you're 1 over the limit. THe speed cameras are just a money grab

Yes I also prefer speed bumps, they actually work because people don't want to damage their car.

Speed bumps. And my data isn't being stored somewhere either. Mayor Verbanovic's decisions are always about data and positive cash flow for Kitchener. The pitch can be made to the city.
