New photo radar guidelines released by province
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The province is making changes to how municipalities can use and operate photo radar, aiming to end the perception that it’s a cash-cow for municipalities.
Transportation Minister Brian Mason released a long-awaited report into how photo radar is being used in the province Thursday morning. The review had been underway since 2017.
“I think photo radar is being used to generate revenue for municipalities and the provincial government to a greater degree than it should be, and it is not being optimized to improve safety outcomes on our highways and our roads,” Mason said during a news conference in Edmonton.
