Mayor Shaun Collier tells Global Traffic Matters that Ajax is moving from its costly traffic calming measures to more successful photo radar enforcement.
“We had allocated $100,000/year for traffic calming measures and then developed warrants to identify the highest priority areas and the correct measures to address. While these were somewhat effective, many of these measures needed to be removed seasonally for snow maintenance,” Collier said.
