Yeah, I am working on that too. It is too bad the intersection cameras dont use radar.
For Deerfoot, I would assume that the cameras would be just like the ones they use in the multanova vans.
If that is the case, and this happens, I will just set myself up with a radar jammer. I've been tossing the idea around for a while anyway.
Speaking of speeding, watch out on Highway 2 these days. The cops are LAYING down on a over pass (with their cars parked on the non-visible off ramp) and shooting laser from between the gaurd rail. You get very little, almost no, warning with the laser. On the bright side, if you are paying attention, you can visually see them laying on the overpass before they acquire you with laser sights.
Funny story ... I was heading east bound on the Carstairs/Acme overpass last fall. For those familiar with that overpass, you go uphill quite a bit, then crest the overpass, then back down hill again. I crested the hill at a significant speed. In the middle of the overpass was a moronic sherrif lying PERPENDICULAR in the road shooting laser down highway 2. His legs seriously went 75% across my lane. I had to swerve aggressively not to chop his legs off with my car. Just how stupid are these sherrifs?
