In December 2019, the Alberta Government prohibited municipalities from adding any new photo radar locations, but that ban was lifted earlier this month when the province announced changes to the current automated traffic enforcement program.
Under the recently announced guidelines, automated traffic enforcement is restricted to school zones, playground zones and constructions zones only.
The province banned monitoring on provincial highways and restricted the use of intersection safety device cameras to only enforce red light infractions.
Starting in mid-January, an additional 42 Lethbridge playground zones will be added for monitoring by photo radar to help reduce speeding and prevent collisions.
Monitoring in the new locations – all harmonized playground zones throughout the city – will begin January 13. Playground zones are in effect daily from 7:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. To find the locations of the new photo radar visit LPS website.
