Council hears report on Automated Traffic Enforcement
The City of Red Deer is grappling with how to balance the amount of tickets handed out by way of Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE).
City council heard a report Monday night outlining how its policy should look going forward and how it can help address transparency while also increasing the level of safety for those using local roadways.
Director of Protective Services Paul Goranson noted the 88 per cent ratio of ATE to conventional roadside enforcement when it comes to speeding, a number found in a Feb. 2017 audit of Red Deer’s system.
He says the province wants that number lower.
