Be careful in the lull right after though, when fewer cars are on the road, and it's easier to be caught alone in the beam. I think it was something like if there's 15 ft between you and the car in front of you.ĭon't worry about photo radar during rush hour, there's too much traffic for it to work. It can't distinguish which car to measure, so if another car enters the beam before you exit, again a pic can be snapped with no speed. Same thing happens if there is more than one car in the beam at a time. The cop I talked to was telling us that he was clocking at the bottom of a hill and a bike flew past going way over the limit, but because he was still accellerating, a pic was snapped with no speed registered. As long as your entering and exit speeds differ by > +-3% then the camera may take your picture, but the speed that's recorded on it will be zero'd out, and will be useless. What this means is that you can either brake hard when you're passing the car/van and entering the beam or you can hit the gas hard. (I can't remember how wide the beam is) In order for it to get an accurate measure of speed, there can only be a difference of +- 3% when you exit vs when you enter the beam. The beam is able to measure your speed when you enter and when you exit. It does extend out in front of the car/van, not behind. The machine is mounted on the front of the car/van and sends a radar beam out over the road that can cover all 3 lanes (hiding in the fast lane doesn't help). This is info that I got talking to a cop a few years ago about the workings of Multi-Nova.

The only moment that counts, is the one as you pass the drivers side window. Were tracking 5G cellular networks so you dont have to. PS, I know for a fact that pretty much as soon as you pass the vehicle, you can step on the gas and resume your normal cruising speed without getting a ticket. See the latest 5G rollouts across the world with our interactive 5G map. Also remember that photo radar typically gives you a buffer of between 7-12km/h over the limit depending on the posted speed limit on the road in question. It sounds stupid, but someone may aswell figure it out. I have yet to get a ticket from photoradar, and I continually brake closer to the van trying to figure out exactly how close I can come without getting a ticket. I know that I pass a photo radar vehicle at least 2-3 times a week on Sarcee Trail just North of Bow Trail, and have never gotten a ticket even though I regularily go 100km/h untill very near the van, then slow down, and resume 100km/h 100 Meters past.

As long as you are not speeding as you pass the drivers side window of the photo vehicle, I believe you are alright. It measures your speed and takes the photo much faster than a person doing the job manually could, thereby giving it the ability to calculate speed and take the picture in the fraction of a second that you pass by. As far as I know, it measures your speed after you have passed the vehicle.
