Now first off this thread isn't to promote speeding it's for those times when you may be drifting about 10k or so over the limit while coming up to one of these spots so you can slow down to avoid a ticket and/or demerits which = higher insurance! So we should be able to cover the city with the amount of members we have on here. :D

Center street just at the top of the bridge beside that strip mall.. I've seen sooo many people get busted there!

Photo radar on Bow Trail and 30th-ish.. going eastbound they hide in the road that runs parallel to Bow trail across from the golf course, and going westbound they're usually hiding up around 45th. Just look for the van/truck/car parked on the wrong side of the road.

Just passed one going southbound on 68th st, just a few intersections before 32nd.

BTW, Calgary Police Service posts locations of where they will be setting up photoradar on their site for those who don't know.

- Canyon Meadows Drive: Both east and westbound, they setup in many places like hide behind bus stops. The most usual place is by the pink condo's when going east, they hide behind trees. Stay at 60kmh

- Elbow drive southbound: Right around Robert Warren school, they setup after the school zone and catch people speeding through it, usually hide behind trees

- James Mckevitt Road SW: There is an area close to the turn to the turn to shawnessy blvd where speed drops from 60kmh to 50. They hide behind a sign in the middle of the road.

dang you beat me to it hahah

yah the cop is always hiding behind the little 'save 3.5cents every liter' sign. even if it doesnt seem like a cops there, slow down because he literally hides himself behind the sign and hides his legs behind the sign leg post

Some of these are doubles ...


I've seen cops undr 64 ave and country hills on deerfoot trail north and southbound doing photo radar.

14street north heading southbound from .. beddington/north haven theres the construction area (underground resevoir i think) on nose hill they sit in the driveway there sometimes, (Laser)

14street north southbound from the cop shop down the big hill, the first right hand turn sometimes a ghost car sits with laser tagging people coming down the hill (70zone)

14 st. north southbound past the district 3 cop shop accross john laurie blvd. they are on the right hand side a bit down the hill usually with a motorcycle hiding behind the trees catching people in the 50 zone. Laser

14st Northbound accross from the #3 copshop in the bit of cars parked on the right, sometimes theres photo radar and sometimes laser. Very rare, but i've gotten a photo radar and seen laser.

14st northbound & southbound between 24ave & northmount drive, by the golf course on both sides anywhere theres cars theres photo radar, i've heard rumors of them hiding behind bus stops with laser but never seen them (Can you tell I frequent 14 street?)

14street otherwise is clean for the most part north and south until you pass over the bridge past kensington rd. the 9ave overpass sometimes theres photo radar behind the bus stop just before, and under the bridge there is laser setup somtimes.

Coming out of downtown to bow trail going west, after you come down the overpass to under the crowchild trail, they have laser setup there somtimes (crazy dangerous for cops but its 70zone.)

Bow trail going east towards downtown from 37street, sometimes you'll see the oh so disguised tinted SUV/truck w/ cabover on the LEFT side of the residential street running paralell along bow trail (with golf course on the left). Its photo radar. (kevie88 should know this one)

Glenmore trail, past macleod eastbound there is a big sign on the right that cops like to sit behind. I got nailed doing 123 in 80zone by laser.

Center street North, coming out of downtown heading northbound at the top of the hill after the bridge, 7ave i think? There are cops there all the time in this 50zone. Keep note, rush hour this is the HOV lane, dont travel alone or get a nice yellow slip.

Centre street north before mcknight and before the hill going down, golf course is on the left... highwood i think? .. Theres cops that like to do laser down there on both sides I think in this big dipped hill. 50zone.

Beddington Blvd between Center street and 4street NE (beddington trail exit route.) this is a cop laser zone on both sides. hiding in the turns of residential streets, behind bus shelters and those yellow/black signs. 50zone.

Country Hills Blvd up by shanappi i think? down the hill from co-op, and up the hill by the co-op to hamptons .. cops like to hit ya with laser in this 60zone.

Dalhousie, its 51street North going from and to john laurie blvd. cops sit with laser in the residential turnoffs.. dont pass cars, DO 50!

I saw only 2 times on crowchild going south just before the 5ave set of lights, maybe before kensington rd. photo radar on the right side beside the big fence. 60zone ? 70zone? ..

Thats all I can remember right now.
