Thank you for participating in the City of Barrie's Suggestion Forum.
The sign indicating how the speed limit can differ depending on the time of year, the day, and time of day—related to times when children are travelling to and from schools—temporarily replaces the flashing lights to warn of a 40 km/h zone, which must be covered when cameras are active. The Government of Ontario doesn't permit speed limits that vary and flashing lights to be posted at the same time. A static speed limit sign allows a provincial offences officer to be 100% confident that the accurate speed limit was posted to advise drivers of the maximum speed, which helps ensure that the ASE regulation under the Highway Traffic Act (Regulation 398/19 Sec 3.1.6) can be fully met and that tickets can be issued.

The issues are too numerous to list here, suffice it to say it's appaling to see them boast about issuing 9200 tickets in the media a few days ago, with the deceptive, and deviating manner in which they posted signs on Big Bay Point that don't abide to the Highway Traffic Act. All tickets should be cancelled, all money people paid refunded, until they address this properly. The city knows it, they've been contacted now several times, I've done my part to communicate to the appropriate oversights. This has nothing to do with safety, otherwise they'd realize how dangerous their manner of sign posting and deviating from "safety" really is to those community safety zones. Drive through the Community Safety Zone on Bloomington Rd in Stouffville, then you'll see how it's done right, not the money grabby trickery with which it was deployed in Barrie!
