watch out on the roads today

[asp integra]

i havent seen this many cops and photoradar on the roads in a very long time as i have today, so watch out and keep your speed down, they are nabing people all over the place, in driving just a bit so far i have seen atleast 5 photoradar traps (mostly radar guns) and cops driving all over the place and alot of ghost cars, so keep an eye out!

[mekeni]

first order of business by the new police chief... nab more speeders.

[TegLover]

yeah i saw a ghost car (charger) parked on the side of crowchild around 10:30-11 setting up.

[black13]

Is this all of Calgary? In the NW I rarely see one but good to know anyway.

And are all ghost cars either charger's/Ford pickup/crowns or are there some other models too?

[jcrules99]

I saw a whole lot of police cars today too, its not even end of the month!

I believe that van services the red light cameras

[sputnik]

The cops have been sitting on 22X near 52nd St SE quite a bit lately.

On my way back from Spokane they pulled over some ricer in a green Cavalier that only minutes before decided to fly-by a bunch of us while going 120+

It was pretty funny to see his ass pulled over.

there was no intersection in sight tough :dunno:

[SilverBoost]

The van with the decals contains photo radar. I've passed it a few times, but in weird places like near the cop shop up by Aero dr. and such.

As for speeding in general, I wouldn't even care so much about crackdowns on it if that was Calgary's biggest traffic problem, but I think we all know it's not.

Just seems like it's the easiest thing to focus on since being an uneducated, etiquette lacking moron isn't as easy to charge people for or prove in court.
