Cops Everywhere
Hey I don't know if we're allowed to do this, but I just wanted to give warning about radar traps.
It seems every night around 12:00 or 1:00 there's a cop sitting in the entrance to Heritage Park catching people going Southbound on 14th Street.
Watch out for those bastards okay?

to be quite honest, GOOD
hope they catch all those idiots, and a few drunks too

Yeah, that intersection of Heritage and 14th can be pretty bad, seen quite a few people run the red light (even with the red light camera up there now!) and seen several people (including some friends) get pulled over by the police on the same spot.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

They should put those warning lights up there. The ones that tell you when the light is going to change. Makes it much easier to stop.Originally posted by powerslave

They should have the warning lights on all red light camera intersections so they only catch the people who run reds on purpose...

That is true
That is true, I hate the feeling when you aren't sure if the stupid light is going to change or not.
I hate the red light camera on Northbound Crowchild up by McMahon Stadium.

Watch the cross walk light. When it starts flashing you know its going to change pretty soon.Originally posted by ramminghard

I agree that Crowchild one near mcmahon is annoying because its a really short light..

Some of them are super fun like the 14th and heritage one, the light starts flashing, then goes back to walk, then flashes again, and you never know whether its the first cycle or the second. Thats my least favorite light...
Registered User
Yeah that light is only like that because half the time late at night there is no one that is waiting to turn or go straight into heritage park

Depends what is meant by term "successfull". In generating revenue...yes. In reducing red light offenses....of course not.

Beddington Tr - Eastbound to Deerfoot Tr - after Center St turn off, there's a band before the lights.
Center St N - Northbound or Southbound - South of Mcknight by golf course

Gotcha:
