🚨 The Problem

Too many of Brampton’s residential streets — posted at 30, 40, or 50 km/h — are being treated like racetracks. Cars routinely fly by at 70 km/h, putting children, seniors, pedestrians, cyclists, and even families inside their own homes at risk.

In the past five years, Brampton has seen multiple shocking incidents:

May 2025: A car smashed into a Brampton home and caught fire.

May 2023: A pickup truck slammed into the side of a family’s house while they slept.

There have been multiple major ‘car into house’ crashes in our city alone — not counting near misses and unreported incidents.

Every day, drivers tear past playgrounds, schools, and corner lots — and one slip of the wheel can change a life forever.

And this reckless speeding doesn’t just put lives and property at risk — it drives auto insurance premiums through the roof for every single Brampton driver. We already pay some of the highest car insurance rates in Canada, and unsafe neighbourhood streets make it worse year after year.

🏠 This Hits Close to Home — Literally

When a car barrels through your living room wall because there are no speed bumps to slow it down, it’s no longer “just speeding” — it’s a serious collision that can cost lives.

When drivers race through residential neighbourhoods unchecked, the risk of death or serious injury becomes a tragic and foreseeable outcome. These are not freak accidents — they’re preventable incidents when proper safety measures are ignored.

Under Ontario law, municipalities have a duty of care to maintain safe road conditions for everyone — drivers, pedestrians, and people in their own homes. Failing to act when a danger is clear and ongoing can be seen as negligence, exposing the City of Brampton to moral and legal responsibility if more people are harmed.

A preventable tragedy shouldn’t be treated like an inevitable statistic.

Speed bumps are a simple, proven step that can save lives and protect families.

✅ What Speed Bumps Do

We’re not asking for radar speed signs or ticket cameras that come in the mail weeks later — we need real, proven deterrents.

Speed bumps work. Ontario’s Vision Zero guidelines confirm speed bumps reduce average speeds by 10–20 km/h, stopping reckless drivers before they can do damage.

Other cities get results. Vaughan, Innisfil, and Mississauga have successfully installed speed bumps to protect local streets and save lives.

📣 Our Community Stands for Safety

Some people want to get rid of speed cameras — yet that petition for the removal of Brampton’s radar ticketing system has gained only 4,508 signatures as of July 16, 2025 — in a city of over 650,000 people.

That shows the majority want safer roads — not more excuses for speeding.

📝 What We’re Demanding

We call on the City of Brampton to:

1. Install more speed bumps on residential streets where speeding above 60 km/h is common — starting with areas near schools, parks, and homes on winding streets and corners.

2. Take resident petitions seriously and act on them promptly — because failing to address a known hazard could open the City to further liability if preventable harm occurs.
