New Tecumseth will receive $156,892 from Ontario’s Road Safety Initiatives Fund (RSIF) as provincial compensation to replace the outlawed Automated Speed Enforcement cameras with physical measures to enhance safety in school and community safety zones.

​

Planned improvements include permanent installation of two radar speed signs in each zone (12 total), rotating silhouette safety signs deployed for two weeks at a time, increased police patrols to support speed compliance, and additional high‑visibility signage at school and community zone entrances.

 

They will be located at the six former ASE locations; Queen Street North; Father F.X. O’Reilly; Adjala Tecumseth Townline, Alliston Community Christian School; 10th Sideroad, Tecumseth South Central Public School; Lilly Street East, Monsignor J.E. Ronan Catholic School; Patterson Street, Tecumseth Beeton Elementary School; King Street South, and Holy Family Catholic School.

 

“These tools will help slow vehicles, increase awareness, and most importantly, keep our children and families safe,” said Mayor Richard Norcross. “We appreciate the province’s support, which allows us to make effective, permanent road‑safety improvements without added cost to drivers or taxpayers.”
