Be Wary of Speed Cameras: A New Trend in Wellington County

Hey there, young drivers! Have you heard about the new speed cameras popping up in Wellington County? It seems like these cameras are catching more than just a few speeding drivers. Let me tell you all about it!

The Speed Camera Buzz

So, two weeks ago, Wellington County decided to install speed cameras in four different locations. And guess what? These cameras have already snapped over 7,000 speeding drivers! Can you believe that?

What People Are Saying

When I talked to folks in the area, most of them actually think the speed cameras are a good idea. But hey, opinions can change real quick when that ticket shows up in the mail!

Even with all those tickets being handed out, drivers are still not slowing down. The signs are there, but it seems like many drivers are ignoring them. Come on, guys, let’s stick to the speed limits!

What You Need to Know

• There are currently four cameras in the county: in Aberfoyle, Fergus, Palmerston, and Mount Forest.
• The cameras are part of a 2-year pilot project to improve driver behavior.
• Over 7,000 tickets have been issued in just 2 weeks!

Why it Matters

Some drivers might feel like they’re being targeted, but if we all follow the speed limits, we can avoid those pesky tickets. Remember, speed limits are not suggestions – they’re the law!

While some drivers are not happy about the tickets, others support the use of speed cameras. It’s a good reminder to slow down, especially in school zones where kids are crossing.

Final Thoughts

Speed cameras are not about making money – they’re about making our roads safer. So, let’s all do our part to follow the rules and keep our communities safe. Drive smart and stay safe on the roads!

Until next time, take care and drive responsibly!
