    A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued in the coming months for a vendor which will be responsible for the management, maintenance, and installation of speed cameras, as well as the issuing of tickets.

    Government has announced details of the implementation of speed cameras and to start, 10 cameras will be installed. This comes after a successful pilot project completed with the City of Mount Pearl and the Town of Paradise last  summer. About 93,721 vehicles were captured speeding 11 kilometres/hour or more over the posted speed limit, of which 21,958 were speeding 20 kilometres/hour or more above the limit. A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued in the coming months for a vendor which will be responsible for the management, maintenance, and installation of speed cameras, as well as the issuing of tickets. The vendor will be authorized to issue a ticket to the owner of any registered motor vehicle that is speeding excessively as determined by a speed camera.
