There's been photo radar on crowchild under the shaganappi bridge the last few nights. Guess someone noticed me speeding there and ratted me out =). Flash is super bright, I could even see it when I'm stopped on shaganappi on the bridge!

Yeah, it's pretty noticeable. I was driving home on 16th ave and right as I was about to head under the overpass, there was a bright flash behind the pillars. When I passed by, I saw that there was a cop parked between the 2 pillars and he nailed the guy that just passed him.

how do you know there is photoradar setup? all i seen was a police van. thats it. and i didn't notice any bright flash or anything. if i didn't see a flash i didn't get a ticket right?

Multi novas are usally on trucks with tinted back windows on the side of the road

anyone know of other setups not using vehicles ?

[Stratus_Power]

i saw one on my way from edmonton back to calgary, it was a truck w/ tinted glass w/ a photoradar sign rite in front of it

[2000impreza]

you guys say these lights are suppose to be super bright. how bright are they? should you be able to know that you got a photoradar? cause to be honest i didn't see a flash. unless it was too dim for me to see.

[D'z Nutz]

Well, the flash would have to be bright enough for the camera to take a photo of a moving vehicle at night....

ok good. i think i'm safe.

another note to everyone on beyond. STREET RACING IS STUPID. ANYONE THAT DOES IT IS FUCKING RETARDED!!!

How fast were you going??

That leads me to a question... Does photoradar tend to be pretty "generous" with people who exceed the speed limit?? There's been a few occassions when I've sped past photo radar, but I've yet to receive any fines in the mail. And when I say sped, I don't mean anything excessive. 10-15km/h at the very most, just because I was careless. My friend went to pay a fine once and the people there said that they usually don't bother if you're only 10-15 over the posted speed limit. (Of course, this could be in reference to roads with speeds of 70+)

sorry. i can't say. all i'm going to say is i'm a slow driver now.

BOTTOM LINE
i didn't see any sort of a flash so i didn't get a ticket. all i seen was a police van and i freaked out.

i think its 10 km over limit :P i got a few of those tickets where i was only like 12 or 14 over ;( ( ie 72 in a 60 zone..grrrr)

i heard there is a few sec in between each flash .. so if u r sorta behind a car and speeding w/him, they will take a pic and u will pass rite by while its... ummm reloading?

have you got photoradar tickets at night before? how bright was the flash?

i'm still worried. does anyone know if they have some sort of device to take a picture without a flash?

[Stratus_Power]
