Premier Doug Ford is suggesting he will hand cities cash to replace automated cameras with speed bumps and lights as he looks to remove the enforcement tools across the province.

On Monday morning, Ford said he would give provincial funding to municipalities to make major road design changes he believes are a more effective way to reduce speeding.

“We’re going to be giving municipalities across the province a lot of money to put in all sorts of street calming methods from turnabouts to speed bumps to flashing signs,” he said. “And that’s going to slow people down; these speed traps do not slow people down.”

It’s not yet clear when Ford will make the announcement formally, which he said would be attended by as-yet unnamed mayors.

“There’s going to be a few mayors joining me,” Ford said.
