Report a bad driver in Brampton

Brampton shares Peel Regional Police with Mississauga, so a bad driver report goes to Peel's Road Watch. Brampton had about 180 speed cameras before Ontario banned them in November 2025, and the city's own numbers show speeding jumped right after.

Happening now? If a driver looks impaired, is racing, or a crash looks likely, call 911. Pull over first, or have a passenger call.

Report it to Peel Regional Police

Peel Regional Police take reports of a past driving incident online, under File a Police Report Online. Pick Report dangerous or aggressive driving, or Report a general driving concern for something less serious. The form asks for:

The date, time and location, with street names and "Brampton"
The Ontario plate and a detailed description of the car
What you could see of the driver

Online reports can take up to 21 business days to review. If police need more from you, you have 30 days to reply or the report is closed. To report by phone, call 905-453-3311.

Your report feeds Peel's Road Watch program, which steps up each time the same plate is reported:

First report: a letter to the car's registered owner with the date, place and what happened.
Second report: another letter and a phone call from an officer.
Third report: a third letter and a visit from an officer. Charges may be considered.

Keep your dashcam clip saved in case an officer asks for it. Don't follow the car to get a better look.

On the highways through Brampton

Highway 410 runs through the middle of Brampton, and the 401 and 407 run along its southern edge. Provincial highways are patrolled by the OPP: for something you saw on one, call *677 on a cell phone, or 1-888-310-1122.

Ask the city to fix a dangerous road

Brampton's speed cameras stopped issuing tickets on November 14, 2025. The cameras still record speeds, and in the first week without tickets, the number of drivers going more than 11 km/h over the limit rose from 31,581 to 71,258, according to a report to council.

What the city has instead:

210 Community Safety Zones, where fines are higher
Speed cushions on more than 150 streets
About 15 red light cameras, which weren't part of the ban, with a plan for up to 35 by 2028
About $7 million from the province, mostly for traffic calming in school zones

To report a dangerous street or ask for a neighbourhood traffic calming review, create a service request at 311brampton.ca, call 311, or email roads@brampton.ca. Unless a sign says otherwise, the speed limit on Brampton roads is 50 km/h.

Roads to watch in Brampton

McVean Drive north of Tappet Drive. Before the ban, a camera here recorded a driver at 200 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
Airport Road at Williams Parkway, Queen Street East at Torbram Road, and Steeles Avenue East at Resolution Drive. Three of the intersections where the Region of Peel put red light cameras.

Peel Police have named seven high-risk intersections in Brampton for extra enforcement but haven't published the list. The most common causes they cite are following too closely, improper turns and disobeying signals.

Noise cameras for loud cars

Brampton plans to pilot noise cameras for modified, loud vehicles, starting in fall 2026. The pilot runs for a year and doesn't issue tickets. For a car racing or doing stunts on your street right now, call 911.

Warn other drivers

A police report stays between you and the police. To warn other drivers about the same car, post your dashcam clip here. Other people can then look up the plate and see what you saw. Your name and email stay private.

Report a driver or look up a plate.
