Speeding is one of the main concerns on Calgary’s roadways, as identified by statistical analysis, collision data, and citizen complaints.
“These drivers not only put themselves in danger, but they also endanger the lives of others,” said the Calgary Police Service in a news release.
In addition to photo radar, there are 58Ā Intersection Safety Camera locations throughout the city. These cameras can photograph vehicles entering an intersection through all traffic signal phases, including red lights.Ā
“These cameras continue to reduce collisions and foster a safer driving environment at our intersections,” said the Calgary Police Service.
Speeding fines for vehicles going through green and yellow lights reflect how high 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.
