    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.

    It's NOT AT ALL ABOUT SAFETY. Shame on the Provincial gov & Municipalities like Barrie boasting about the revenue made by speed cameras yet eliminating the real concern: SAFETY. Flashing lights SHOULD NOT BE COVERED for any reason. Hypocrisy trumps once again, taking us for fools $$
