Calgary (Rajeev Sharma): Calgary motorists are being advised to exercise increased caution on city roads this January as photo radar enforcement expands across several neighbourhoods. Authorities say the enhanced enforcement is aimed at improving road safety, particularly during winter conditions when roads are more hazardous.
Mobile photo radar units will be operating in the following areas: Albert Park / Radisson Heights, Banff Trail, Cranston, Elbow Park, Erin Woods, Glenbrook, Mahogany, Ogden, Sandstone Valley, Signal Hill, Strathcona Park, and Tuscany.
In addition to mobile speed enforcement, 57 red-light cameras remain active at major intersections throughout Calgary, monitoring traffic violations and helping to reduce the risk of serious collisions.
The Calgary Police Service maintains that photo radar locations are determined based on traffic data, collision history, and community safety priorities. Officials emphasize that the program is designed to promote safer driving behaviour rather than generate revenue.
Drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits, remain vigilant at intersections, and adjust their driving to winter road conditions to avoid fines and, more importantly, prevent accidents.
