A poll released November 4 by Canada Pulse Insights for CityNews found that 68 per cent of Toronto residents and 62 per cent of GTA residents want more speed cameras on city roads. Ontario banned municipalities from placing speed cameras in November 2025. City of Toronto data cited in the article shows speeding on Parkside Drive rose 200 per cent after the ban.

The poll covered 510 adult residents of the City of Toronto and 825 adult residents of the GTA outside Toronto, surveyed between September 14 and 25, 2026. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.3 percentage points for Toronto and plus or minus 3.4 percentage points for the GTA, 19 times out of 20.

Among Torontonians, 32 per cent agreed strongly and 36 per cent agreed in part that there should be more speed cameras. Nineteen per cent disagreed in part and 13 per cent disagreed strongly. In the broader GTA, 27 per cent agreed strongly and 35 per cent agreed in part.

Support was higher among lower-income households. Among those earning $50,000 or less, 75 per cent agreed. Among those earning $50,000 to $99,999, 71 per cent agreed. Among those earning $100,000 or more, 60 per cent agreed.

Pollster John Wright told CityNews the data shows speed cameras are seen as a deterrent, particularly in school zones and areas where vulnerable people are present. He noted that seven in 10 people believe cameras slow vehicles and improve safety, and that many point to the Parkside Drive data as evidence.

The poll also asked about where moped-style e-bikes, often used for food delivery, should be allowed. Twenty-eight per cent would ban them from Toronto entirely. Twenty-seven per cent said they should go on roads with cars. Thirty-four per cent said they should be allowed in bike lanes with bicycles. CityNews noted that support for allowing e-bikes in bike lanes was higher among renters, younger residents and lower-income households.
