Another Calgary intersection will see the return of automated traffic enforcement after approval from the provincial government.
Eastbound 16 Avenue and 10 Street NW is the latest addition to the list.
Last week, Calgary police said eastbound and westbound 16 Avenue and 68 Street NE and eastbound and westbound Highway 1A at 12 Mile Coulee Road NW were also going to see the return of automated enforcement.
This comes nine months after Alberta removed photo radar from provincial highways and cracked down on other methods of traffic enforcement.
Officials in various levels of government and law enforcement, including Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek and CPS leadership, have called for the new provincial policies to be scrapped.
In December, mandatory restrictions resulted in the removal of photo radar on provincial highways and limited the use of Intersection Safety Devices (ISDs) for red light enforcement only on non-provincial roads and connectors. This change also resulted in the removal of speed-on-green ISDs at intersections.
CPS submitted requests to reinstate automatic traffic enforcement at multiple high-risk areas for serious-injury or fatal collisions.
2025 has been a deadly year on Calgary roads — so far this year, there have been 25 fatal collisions in the city. In all of 2024, there were 29, and that was a 10-year-high.
