In the past three years, photo radar has captured 122,235 speeding violations on Ring Road and Circle Drive, but is it actually stopping speeding, or is it just quick cash?
“Our message to anyone, when it comes to notions of that nature, [is] keep your cash. We want people to slow down. We don’t want anybody getting a ticket; our goal is zero tickets and zero revenue because if more people are obeying speed limits, our roads are safer,” Tyler McMurchy, media relations manager for Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) said.
“We studied the results over the two-year period of the pilot project and what we found was that photo speed enforcement reduced speeds and calmed traffic in the areas where it was taking place and as a result, there were fewer collisions and fewer injuries.”
