Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark says it’s too early to tell what a possible expansion of photo radar in the city might look like.

A city document presented at Monday’s transportation committee revealed the City of Saskatoon and SGI are talking about the possibility of expanded photo radar.

Clark said he’s open to discussions about photo radar expansion, but that any new locations need to be based on evidence. In his opinion, any new photo radar locations would focus on additional school zones first, he said.

“I can’t see us tripling or quadrupling the number of cameras we have out there,” Clark said in an interview on Tuesday.

Clark pointed to the red-light cameras installed at four intersections deemed to be dangerous. The use of red-light cameras has not expanded dramatically since the first one was installed in 2005, he said.

Clark supported the SGI pilot project that involved placing cameras in school zones and along Circle Drive to reduce speeding.
