23 Calgary communities will have photo radar this November
The City of Calgary has announced the locations where photo radar will be in effect for the month of November.
The machines use radar to detect how fast a vehicle is going, and will 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.
