Edmonton councillors want to look at alternative ways to conduct traffic enforcement to keep streets safe.
The new Alberta government regulations took effect April 1 , prohibiting photo radar on numbered provincial highways and limiting its use to school, playground and construction zones.
The rules reduce the number of sites where photo radar could be used by about 70 per cent — from about 2,400 sites to around 650 across the province.
Safer Roads Alliance said photo radar helped communities manage traffic, especially on busy roads that slow down.
Alberta Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen has called photo radar a cash cow he’s pledged to kill.
The province said municipalities are encouraged to use or install traffic calming measures instead of photo radar.
