Community Safety Speed Cameras

Midland's Community Safety Speed Camera program uses Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) to help reduce speeding around schools and in Community Safety Zones.

Midland's Community Safety Speed Camera program ended on Nov 14, 2025. All penalty orders that were issued for speeding infractions up to and including November 13, 2025, remain valid. Payment is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Payment and appeal options are set out on the back of the penalty order.

Midland's Community Safety Camera Locations

There are two community safety speed cameras in Midland running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

William Street - Community Safety Zone in front of Sacred Heart Catholic School
Yonge Street - Community Safety Zone in front of Mundy's Bay Public School

We only issued Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) penalties by mail. Do not click any links or share personal information if you receive a text message about payment - it's a scam.

How ASE works

Automated Speed Enforcement uses camera and speed sensor to detect the speed of travelling vehicles. When a safety speed camera detects a speeding, an image is captured and provided to the Processing Centre. The image is reviewed by a Provincial Offences Officer and the Penalty Order issued.

The Penalty Order will be issued to the owner of the vehicle and will include a digital image of the vehicle and license plate.

The Penalty Order, issued upon confirmation of the contravention, is mailed to the registered owner. It includes a fine but does not affect the driving record, Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration, insurance, or add demerit points.

Actions to take upon receiving a Penalty Notice

The Penalty Order will provide details for two options:

Paying the penalty fine

Pay online at disputeorpay.ca using VISA, Mastercard or American Express.
Pay in person at Town Hall during regular business hours. Please ensure that you bring a copy of the Penalty Order with the Unique File Number and License Plate number.

Fine Amounts

Fine amounts for automated speed enforcement are regulated by the Province just like speeding tickets issued by the police. There are 3 components that make up the total penalty:

The provincial set penalty. This is based on the number of kilometers over the speed limit that the vehicle was travelling when captured multiplied by the rate set out in O.Reg. 355/22. Please note: Fines are doubled in community safety zones, even if the violation occurred outside school hours. Open O.Reg 355/22 for the fee table.
The MTO search fee. This fee is charged by the Province for access to the name and address of the plate owner and is $8.25.
Victim’s Justice Fund Surcharge. Municipalities are required to collect and remit a Victim Surcharge fee to the Province to support programs they administer for victims of crime throughout Ontario. The amount of this charge is set by the Province and is dependent on the amount of the fine imposed. These fines are pursuant to O.Reg. 161/00 Victim Fine Surcharges. Open O.Reg 161/00 for the fee table.

Privacy Statement

The data collected by the ASE system is encrypted and securely stored. It is transferred through a cloud-based system to the Processing Centre, where only authorized Provincial Offences Officers can access it using dedicated image processing software. ASE is not a video-based system – only a still image of the motor vehicle and license plate is captured, not the driver. After the data is transferred, all information is erased from the original storage device.
