In an effort to reduce road collisions in Calgary, photo radar will be set up in 18 communities around the city this July.
This month, photo radar vehicles will also be in place at construction zones where workers are present. Photo radar will be set up in the following areas:
Canyon Meadows
Castleridge
Charleswood
Coventry Hills
Cranston
Evergreen
Falconridge
Haysboro
Lake Bonavista
Midnapore
Mount Pleasant
Panorama Hills
Sandstone
Skyview Ranch
Strathcona
Tuscany
Willow Park
Windsor Park
In addition to photo radar, there will be 57 Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) locations throughout Calgary in July. These cameras can photograph vehicles that run through red lights. Five of these locations will also capture speed-on-green infractions.
Those who drive 50 km/h over the speed limit will have to appear in court before a judge.
Community needs were identified through statistical analysis, collisions, and citizen concerns, and photo radar will continue to cultivate a safer driving environment around the city.
If a motorist is ticketed, the Offence Notice/Violation Ticket will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Tickets can be paid at the Provincial Court or online, following the directions on the violation ticket portion of the document. The ticket must be dealt with on or before the appearance date on the violation ticket.
