Despite study findings and the opinion of police associations and municipalities to the contrary, Ford said speed cameras don't slow people down, and the province plans to establish a new provincial fund to help municipalities put in place other "proactive traffic-calming initiatives that stop people from speeding in the first place." That includes speed bumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks and curb extensions

My municipality already has this fund. They are funding projects like that using the revenue from the speed cameras. We all know ford will back off with these improvements once the cameras are removed.

Speed bumps on the highway would be fun
