Why is there a person in the Photo Radar vehicle?
Persons designated as Peace Officers in the Province of Alberta staff the mobile Photo Radar vehicles. The operator is responsible for setting up and testing the equipment. They also observe and make notes on each violation. 31) Why does Photo Radar occasionally operate in areas designated “No Stopping/No Parking?” In general, Photo Radar vehicles do not operate in restricted areas. This occurs only under specific instructions from the Calgary Police Service. These vehicles are exempt under the Alberta Traffic Safety Act (Sec. 63 and 64) and may enforce in a restricted area just as any conventional police vehicle.
