Photo radar devices that automatically send tickets to the owners of speeding cars will return to Ontario’s streets, Premier Kathleen Wynne announced in Ottawa Tuesday, as part of a package of changes meant to keep pedestrians and cyclists safer.

Ontario once had photo radar vans enforcing speed limits on provincial highways.

They were massively unpopular, Mike Harris ditched them when he was premier in the 1990s, and they haven’t been seen here since.

Wynne promised an imminent bill that will let municipalities install them in school zones and certain designated “community safety zones.” The same bill will let cities reduce speed limits in those areas from the default of 50 km/h, and make it easier to install cameras that send automatic tickets to the owners of cars spotted running red lights.

“It’s been the municipalities that have asked us for this,” Wynne said in making the promise in the gym at Elmdale Public School, surrounded by fifth-graders.

More to come.
