A photo radar pilot project that was partially launched to try and deal with a deadly intersection on the north side of Moose Jaw will continue - and potentially be expanded.

SGI has released their final report into the program with Minister Responsible for SGI, Joe Hargrave, saying it was a success.

"We know that average speeds were reduced where there was photo speed enforcement. Speed actually decreased. Injuries, casualties and incidents at the same place were reduced per-year. That's why we've decided to make this a permanent thing."

For Moose Jaw, when the pilot was first launched, 4% of all vehicles that passed through the intersection of 9th and the Trans Canada Highway were speeding. Following two years of having the photo cameras in place, that number has dropped to right around 1%.

Minister Hargrave explains a traffic committee will be formed to review applications from communities.

"What we're going to do is we're going to establish a traffic safety committee. Communities, RMs, municipalities, small towns, villages, cities, will all be able to apply to the committee and can say 'We need a camera here,' and it will be brought and reviewed by the committee."

While some applications might be for cameras, Hargrave says some simpler traffic control devices might be used, such as speed bumps in school zones, or flashing lights to draw attention to the posted speed limit.

"Per standard tickets, 25% goes to the GRF [General Revenue Fund], then the expenses come off, and of the remaining amount – 50% of it will go to the municipality that has the camera, and 50% will go toward the traffic safety fund. That will be their budget."

Come January 1, 2019, the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund will receive 75% of all ticket revenue from photo radar cameras that are placed on highways. The remaining 25% will be allocated to the GRF.
