Slave Lake scraps photo radar

Visitors to Slave Lake will no longer have to worry about an electronic eye catching them speeding or failing to stop at stop signs.

Slave Lake town council unanimously decided at its Sept. 3 meeting to ditch the devices. The decision means council will end its approximate 10-year agreement with Global Traffic Systems, which provided the service.

GTS officials attended the council meeting citing the effectiveness of photo radar.

Council received 20 per cent of ticket revenue. The program cost them no money to operate.
