    A pilot project done on in Mount Pearl and Paradise last year identified more than 93,000 vehicles were speeding 11 kilometres/hour or more over the posted speed limit.

    Government has issued a request for proposals to implement speed cameras throughout the province. The RFP, which closes on October 8, will result in the selection of a vendor responsible for the installation, management and maintenance of speed cameras. The vendor will also issue tickets to the owners of registered motor vehicles that are travelling at excessive speeds as documented by speed cameras. Locations for the speed cameras will be determined in consultation with municipalities and law enforcement, with consideration being given to high-traffic routes.
