Along with the photo radars, there are 58 Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) locations throughout the city.
These cameras can photograph vehicles entering the intersections during all phases of the signal, including red light infractions.
The speed-on-green initiative uses up to 55 of these ISC locations to capture vehicles that speed through green and yellow lights. Speeding fines reflect how fast you are travelling over the limit.
As a reminder, speeds in excess of 50 km/hr over the speed limit will result in an appearance before a judge.
There have been recent incidents of drivers reaching dangerous speeds on roads in Calgary and across the province.
