These cameras photograph vehicles entering intersections. Police say the cameras help reduce collisions and allow for a safer driving environment.
The “speed on green” initiative uses up to 55 of those ISC locations to capture vehicles that speed through green and yellow lights. Typically, speeds in excess of 50 km per hour over the speed limit result in the driver most likely showing up to traffic court, according to the City of Calgary.
