Saskatchewan is getting new photo radar cameras for a new decade.

A Vancouver-based company called Redflex is taking over the contract to supply, operate and maintain photo radar cameras across the province.

The company was awarded the five-year contract worth $3.7 million following a request for proposals to replace the previous company called Conduent Incorporated when the original contract expired this month.

SGI confirmed the switch to Redflex’s Radarcam system happened last week but said there wasn’t a gap in enforcement during that time.

The locations of photo radar boxes will remain the same, with five camera sites along Ring Road in Regina as well as five sites around Circle Drive in Saskatoon in addition to select school zones in both cities.

Moose Jaw also has two photo radar boxes in school zones in addition to two cameras at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Ninth Avenue.

Last week, a new photo radar camera was put at the intersection of Highway 41 and Highway 2 near Wakaw. That camera will alternate between two sites at the intersection.

The addition of the Wakaw photo radar camera was previously announced by SGI. The camera will start operating with a three-month warning period for drivers who are caught speeding there.

The Redflex Radarcam system is designed to handle fog, vehicle spray and snow and uses dual radar technology for accurate tracking of speeding vehicles and their positions in the lanes.

An SGI communications person said the photo radar boxes may look slightly different, but they are designed to make it less obvious which boxes have working cameras at any given time. The cameras have always moved between different photo radar box locations.
