Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is designed to work in tandem with other road safety measures, such as traffic calming, community safety zones, speed display boards, education initiatives, and police enforcement.
These safety measures help improve safety for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and our most vulnerable members of our population such as seniors and children.
Town Council approved the use of 14 cameras to be installed and rotated through the town’s community safety zones.
Camera installation and go live dates
Camera installation has started, and testing is underway. The cameras will go live in the week of January 20, 2025.
During the testing phase, you may notice the cameras flashing briefly. This is part of the technical testing, the cameras are not operational for the public until the week of January 20, 2025.
The “Coming Soon” signs at the camera locations are also being updated to “Municipal Cameras in Use”.
About ASE
When a vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit in an ASE area, the ASE system captures an image of the vehicle.
A provincial offences officer reviews the image and issues a ticket.
The ticket, including a digital copy of the image and an enlargement of the license plate, is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle within 30 days of the offence.
Tickets are issued to the owner of the vehicle regardless of who was driving. No demerit points will be issued.
Since August 2024, advance notice signs were provided in the initial 14 areas, two in each ward, to let residents know that ASE cameras will be installed in their neighbourhood in the coming months.
Camera installation has started, and testing is underway. The cameras will go live in the week of January 20, 2025. The “Coming Soon” signs at the camera locations are also being updated to “Municipal Cameras in Use”.
Oakville’s ASE program will be rolled out in phases.
The town’s 14 cameras will be rotated through various community safety zones, where speeding has proven to be a consistent problem.

The penalties are coordinated through a provincial Joint Processing Center (JPC), which is a common platform that collects data from all ASE cameras across all municipalities, and Provincial Offence Officers issue ASE tickets.
ASE is proven to effectively enforce speed limits, increase driver awareness and decrease injuries and fatalities. A number of municipalities across Ontario have already implemented ASE.
ASE is about safety. With clear signage posted, ASE is the reminder we all need to slow down and help keep our communities safe, especially in areas where people of all ages tend to walk, run, bike and play.
