Shocking news today… speeding and collisions are up in Edmonton since the #UCP banned the use of camera enforcement… truly shocking, who could have predicted this? 🙄

#PhotoRadar is a quick and effective short term. #TrafficCalming and #RoadDiet is a more durable solution to excess speed:

I received my first #PhotoRadar ticket. $108 for going 46km in a 30km zone. Whoops.

I still think it's absurd that #DougFord is trying to remove them. The only argument against them I can think of is that there needs to be enough of them to make it worthwhile.

If you only get a ticket on rare occasions the value as a behaviour modifier is limited. Put them everywhere, eventually we'll learn!

The other thing I'd like is for more effort to go into road design. 46 km (~30 mph) feels very slow on a typical wide straight residential street. A bit of visual traffic calming would make it easier for me to unlearn my bad habits.
