Is it enforcement or a cash cow?

First day of school and where does one find our photo radar set up? Not at the school zones where it was crazy with vehicles pulling in, pulling out, etc.

First day of school and where does one find our photo radar set up? Not at the school zones where it was crazy with vehicles pulling in, pulling out, etc. Not at any of the multiple residential sites that have many children riding their bikes, walking to school or crossing busy streets to get to school. No they were set up at the UFA Card Lock parking lot, just across the road from LUBEX or officially known as Zone M402. We drove by at 8:10 a.m. and there they were sitting and, we assume, taking pictures of northbound traffic. We drove back at 8:30 a.m. and yes the photo radar vehicle was still sitting there. Causes one to wonder hmm – safety versus revenue? Which is it?

Out of curiosity – we drove around to all the schools to see who was protecting the safety of our children. We were so happy to see the Community Peace Officer cruising around Morinville Public School and an RCMP parked by the Notre Dame School. Thank you to both for having the boots on the ground.
