Lincoln, ON – (May 8, 2025)
The Town of Lincoln is informing residents of new traffic calming measures being implemented as part of Niagara Region’s Vision Zero road safety initiative.
Beginning May 2025, an Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera will be active on Mountain Street (Regional Road 18), between Edelheim Road and Beam Street, within a designated Community Safety Zone (CSZ).
What is ASE?
ASE is an automated system that uses a camera and speed measurement device to help enforce posted speed limits. These cameras are generally placed in Community Safety Zones by the Niagara Region to reduce speeding and improve safety for all road users.
Why ASE?
This program supports Niagara Region’s Vision Zero goal—to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on our roads.
2025 ASE Camera Locations in Lincoln:
- May to August 2025:
Mountain Street (between Edelheim Rd. and Beam St.) - September to December 2025:
Victoria Avenue (between Frederick Ave. and King St.)
Please drive with care and help make our streets safer for everyone.

Backgrounder
In April 2019, Town of Lincoln Council passed a resolution regarding truck safety in Lincoln. Traffic safety and speed reduction strategies are a high priority for the Town, and we continue to respond to residents' concerns about improving road safety throughout the community.
The Town’s Transportation Master Plan developed a comprehensive Traffic Calming Policy to guide the implementation process of traffic calming/speed reduction measures for the Town. The ultimate goal of these actions is to improve the livability of neighbourhoods for all users. Staff provide regular updates to Council through the Committee of the Whole, currently on a quarterly basis.
Staff also continue to work closely with the Niagara Region, Niagara Regional Police Service, the Ministry of Transportation, and other agencies on multi-stakeholder and multi-agency strategies to ensure improving traffic and truck safety remains a high priority in Lincoln.
The Town has implemented several traffic safety initiatives throughout Lincoln, including community safety zones, pedestrian crossovers, and speed humps. Detailed maps are available for the traffic safety measures implemented in Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, and Ward 4.
