Automated Speed Enforcement Program (ASE) Highcastle Road north of Pineslope Crescent
The following site is scheduled to receive Automated Speed Enforcement during the next rotation planned for Spring 2024: Highcastle Rd North of Pineslope Cres

ASE is a tool in the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan focused on altering driver behaviour to decrease speeding and increase safety. The ASE systems are mobile and will rotate every three to six months within each ward. This provides an opportunity to address a greater number of areas with safety concerns and provide a wider-ranging deterrent effect.
