Distracted Driving
On September 1, 2011, the new Provincial Distracted Driving Law came into effect. The law is one of the most comprehensive in the country and will improve road safety in Calgary by restricting drivers from the following:
- using hand-held cell phones
- texting or e-mailing
- using electronic devices like laptop computers, video games, cameras, video entertainment displays and programming portable audio players (e.g., MP3 players)
- entering information on GPS units
- reading printed materials in the vehicle
- writing, printing or sketching
- personal grooming

November photo enforcement locations
In response to community needs identified through statistical analysis, collisions, and citizen concerns, mobile photo radar will be set up on Crowchild Trail N., Sarcee Trail N. and Memorial Drive throughout November.
Photo radar will also be set up in the communities of Oakridge, Woodbine and Glenbrook.
Photo radar will continue to be actively deployed in school and playground zones, as well as construction zones throughout the city.
As well as photo radar, there are 51 Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) locations throughout the city. A number of cameras rotate through these locations and can photograph vehicles entering the intersections during all phases of the signal.
There are 39 cameras that rotate through the ISC locations that are capable of capturing red light infractions.
These cameras continue to reduce collisions and foster a safer driving environment at our intersections.
The speed on green initiative uses up to 28 of these ISC locations to capture vehicles that speed through green and yellow lights. Speeding fines reflect how fast you are travelling over the limit. Speeds in excess of 50 km/hr over the speed limit result in an appearance before the judge.
These drivers not only put themselves in danger, but they also endanger the lives of others.
