Niagara's police chief is backing a return of photo radar in school and community safety zones across the province.
Premier Kathleen Wynne has announced new legislation that would allow the change -- saying too many people are being injured and killed by drivers who speed.
The bill would also allow municipalities to create reduced-speed-limit zones and let them participate more easily in the red light camera program.
Niagara Regional Police Chief Jeff McGuire telling CKTB he doesn't support photo radar as it was used in the past - when it was more of a cash cow, but does support the use of it in areas such as school and community safety zones.
Photo radar was first introduced in Ontario in the 1990s by the NDP government, but it was killed by premier Mike Harris after the Progressive Conservatives won the 1995 election.
