The City of Edmonton hopes a new design will make spotting photo radar vehicles easier for drivers.

A concern is being raised about the Edmonton's photo radar program following the switch from a radar vehicle to a radar box.

On Thursday, the Alberta government released its long-awaited review on photo radar use in the province.

New data released by city shows the number of photo or laser radar tickets issued in 2018 compared to 2016 decreased by 28 per cent, which was 144,161 fewer citations.

The city of Edmonton said there are currently about 104,000 photo radar tickets waiting to be mailed to drivers once the Canada Post strike is over. 

The plan would mean interim measures would be in place for all 408 priority crosswalks in 10 years, and the whole upgrade plan would be done by 2029.

One driver was clocked at 100 km/h in a 30 km/h zone, according to the City of Edmonton's traffic safety office. The infraction comes with a mandatory court appearance.

It was a sight that left people in Edmonton's theatre community saddened but plans are underway to bring the Roxy Theatre back to 124 Street again.

The City of Edmonton receives a weekly report of data collected by driver feedback signs around the city.

City officials say there were a total of 1,023 violations and 856 tickets handed out in September and October.
