The City of London has begun issuing tickets generated by automated speed cameras in school zones.
The fines come after several months of warning by notice and by mail.
One of the first cameras is installed along Thompson Road near Adelaide Street. There, traffic moves steadily in the area of Princess Elizabeth Public School.
It does not seem to matter whether the school is about to let children out or not, according to Barb Tonn.
A crossing guard, for 32 years, she’s seen far too many close calls. “I’m so scared they’re going to hit. They’ve come close a couple of times.”
To reduce the chances of a tragedy safety measures are in place. They include a reduced speed limit, signage and the crosswalk.
