These 18 Calgary communities will have photo radar this December
The City of Calgary has announced the locations where photo radar will be in effect for the month of December.
The machines use radar to detect how fast a vehicle is going and trigger an attached camera to take a photo if the car is speeding, according to the City’s website. They’re often used in places where speeding is a problem or where traffic patterns make it unsafe for officers to catch speeders themselves.
