Photo Radar

Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE), also known as photo radar, is part of our traffic safety program.

Program changes

Changes to provincial regulations outlined in the 2025 Automated Traffic Enforcement Technology Guideline took effect on April 1, 2025. As a result, the number of eligible ATE sites in Beaumont has been reduced from 79 to 24.

Despite these changes, the City remains committed to enhancing traffic safety and has extended its agreement with the current ATE contractor. Council will revisit the ATE program in the second quarter of 2025 to evaluate its impact and determine any necessary adjustments.

Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE)

The City of Beaumont’s Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) program monitors and enforces traffic in zones that have the potential of the highest risk to residents for personal injuries, such as schools and playgrounds.

The City’s ATE program is fully compliant with all current provincial requirements and follows the guidelines set by the provincial government to prioritize the safety and well-being of our community. Find more photo radar info on alberta.ca.
