In Brampton, Caledon is well known for the excessive number of speeding tickets issued. There are many areas of questionable speed limit changes with insufficient posting of the changes.
There is absolutely no doubt, they are aware of these specific areas … yet do nothing to effect changes to help ensure traffic moves at the speed that’s been deemed safe. If they did that, speeding tickets would decline.
That means, Caledon are actively choosing to prefer revenue over public safety.
Many from brampton have simply chosen NOT to travel to Caledon, because of these practices.

Caledon OPP are a cash grab for the Town of Caledon. They don’t solve crimes of ANY nature, just write tickets. What a waste of a career. They a glorified meter maids.
