    Calgary drivers will have more attention on photo radar in December.

    Starting Thursday, Calgary Police Service photo radar vehicles will have high visibility banners on them that say “drive safe.”

    “A key element to the success of any enforcement practice, including the use of photo radar technology, is public awareness and transparency,” CPS said on social media.

    The banners are in response to changes to automated traffic enforcement introduced in provincial legislation last December.

    Municipalities started this year to submit quarterly reports on photo radar to the province.

    In April, photo radar was banned on residential streets with speed limits below 50 km/h, unless they were in school and playground zones or construction zones. A new definition of a zone with speed transitions has also been put in place.

    In June, photo radar was not allowed on construction sites if no workers were present. Also, photo radar sites could not be selected if there was public concern or conventional application.

    And in December, all photo radar vehicles need a wrap that says “drive safe” in blue over a yellow background on all sides of the vehicle. All existing locations should be reassessed and other tools such as speed bumps or education should be put in place before the use of photo radar is considered.

    A freeze on all new photo radar equipment was placed on municipalities in December 2019.

    Thirty municipalities across the province have photo radar programs. In December 2019, the City of Edmonton unveiled neon yellow photo radar vehicles with the same “drive safe” message.

    The City of Calgary also uses cameras at intersections, and posts their locations online.
