Photo radar locations: July 1-31

Jun 25, 2020 | 12:58 PM

Red Deer RCMP has released its planned photo radar locations for the month of July.

Between July 1-31, local motorists can expect to see mobile photo radar units operating in the neighbourhoods of Glendale, Normandeau, Highland Green, Riverside Meadows, Pines, downtown core, Waskasoo, Woodlea, Parkvale, Bower, Anders, Morrisroe, Inglewood, Vanier, and Lancaster.

Mobile units are also planned to be operating in the traffic corridors of 30 Avenue, 40 Avenue, 48 Avenue, Taylor Drive, 19 Street, 32 Street, Ross Street, and Riverside Drive.

Intersection safety device cameras will be located at 50 Street & 30 Avenue, 30 Avenue & 32 Street, 49 Avenue & 49 Street, and 50 Avenue & 76 Street.

The City of Red Deer’s Automated Traffic Enforcement Program includes photo laser, red light cameras and intersection speed cameras. These tools, along with conventional traffic enforcement and education campaigns, are said to help make Red Deer’s roads safer. By reducing speed, both the number and severity of collisions is expected to be reduced.

RCMP say Automated Traffic Enforcement operates in areas where speeding has been identified as a community concern; there has been an identifiable, documented history of collisions; a high volume of pedestrians; and areas where conventional enforcement is ineffective or unsafe.

Please note that the RCMP reserves the right to change site locations without notice.
