While photo radar will have a limited presence on highâ€" ways in Oakville, drivers heading in and out of town had better be on their best behavior. Photo Radar coming to the QEW By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff The new and somewhat controâ€" versial scheme â€" which goes into effect the week of Aug. 15 â€" will be enforced on the QEW and the 403. Those travelling outside Oakville‘s borders, however, are likely to encounter it in a multitude of other locations. . These include Highways 404, 409, 410 and 427 plus the 401 from Cobourg to Milton. Other stretches include Highway 10 through Brampton and Caledon, Highways 7, 7A, B and 115 and 121 in the Peterborough area. According to Martin Mcinally, information officer with the Integrated Safety Project, warning signs have been posted after each interchange on 400 Series highâ€" ways and every 10 km on nonâ€"400 Series. Although to start only four vans outfitted with camera and radar equipment will be used, their locations will change constantly. Though the technology is new, the fines are not. One to 19 km over the maximum posted speed limit will cost convicted drivers $2.50 per km; 20 to 34 km over the limit and this jumps to $3.75 per km; 35 to 49 km over, $6 per km. (A $5 administration fee is also tacked on.) Anything in excess of 50 km over the limit is left to a traffic court judge. In total, the fines can weigh heavily: 15 km over the limit will cost you $42.50; 25 km over, $98.75; 40 km, $245. MclInally insists, however, that photo radar will target only the "top 15%" of speeding motorists and that there exists room for discretion by the operator of the radar unit. This is contingent on several facâ€" tors including the posted limit, weather and road conditions, over all traffic flow and the "collision history" of the highway in question. McInally says the plan is not a "cash cow" as some critics insist but a genuine way in which to help curtail speeding.

Last year, more than 1,000 people died and another 90,000 were injured. In addition, road collisions across the province cost $9.1 bilâ€" lion per year in physical damage to roads, bridges and underpasses plus the associated cost of 800,000 hours of police, fire and ambulance time. Products for fooling the photo radar system â€" such as a polarized shield for licence plates â€" have been on sale for some time. Although they are not illegal to buy, there is a law which prohibits anything that obstructs a plate. Police can warn drivers or nail them with fines from $90 to $500.
