the radio stations in the Fort always let listeners know where the photo radar is set up.
I think that if it helps people slow down, have at it.
I work on the Syncrude site amd drive to work every day.
Untill the traffic got so congested that traffic naturally slowed down, even the presence of a squad car would slow drivers down.
of course, there was still the odd 160KM ticket being handed out!

people up here seem to drive at insane speeds, especialy on HWY63 and 881.
The highways get blamed as being dangerous, but if people were not driving at
warp 2 there would not be nearly the amount of accidents and deaths on our highways up here.
I haven't had a speeding ticket for over 20 years, but then I don't drive way over the limit on the highway ( 105KPH normally) and I drive the posted limits in town.
