Hey, We moved to Alberta about a month ago. since living here my radar detector has gone off twice at different times through a traffic light (1 in nisku and one in leduc) I have a passport 8500 and it said laser both times witch makes me think that I just got 2 tickets??? is this the case?? ---

everywhere in Calgary, but they will only shoot one way even tho the signs are posted at all four corners. i think they’re a good idea, wouldnt want someone hitting me when i have the green, kinda deters people from running the light i guess. ---

I wasn’t running a red light, I had the green, I might have been over the speed limit though, so I tought it might give me a photo ticket for speeding? I agree its a good thing for snaggin red lighters. ---

They use radar to tell you how fast you are moving when you run a red light. Currently in alberta it is illegal to have an Un-manned photo radar. ---

Lots of lights/intersections have sensors that’ll set off your detector. ---

They’ve also got lots more boxes than cameras … so even if you know an intersection has a box for the red light camera, that doesn’t mean there’s actually a camera in it. ---
