Anyways theres a new road that connects to the Henday and there is nothing on it yet and the limit is 50. I was going down the road one day and the person in front of me was driving the limit....I was in no rush so I just followed. Low and behold theres an electrical transformer and Photo Radar is hiding behind it. Yes no one would ever get injured on this road....but they better police that area in the name of safety instead of a playground zone or residential street. So that woman in the Honda Civic probably saved me a Photo radar ticket that day. I thahk her for driving the speed limit in front of me.

ahh the st. albert photo natzis. Man I living and driving around there in the summer. It takes for freakin ever to get from one side of the city to another even though it's tiny. Me and my buddies used to go around putting up sign before the photo rader to let other people know that it was there but were informed by a cop it was obstruction of justice.
Also I remember hearing a story about some kids at Paul Kane High School stealing the plate off the radar van, putting it on their own car, and going past the van a number of times. If it's true those people should be given some sort of medal or something
