In addition to photo radar, there are 58 Intersection Safety Camera locations throughout the city. These cameras can photograph vehicles entering an intersection through all phases of a traffic signal, including red lights.
Speeding fines for vehicles going through green and yellow lights reflect how above the speed limit cars are travelling. Going 50 km/hr or more over the limit will land a driver in front of a judge.
“These cameras continue to reduce collisions and foster a safer driving environment at our intersections,” said the Calgary Police Service.
