Beaumont Ending Photo Radar Effective December 6

With Beaumont’s automated traffic enforcement (ATE) program set to end on December 6, the City is exploring alternative approaches to keeping the community’s streets safe.

The City’s third-party provider provided notice in June that it would end its contract for automated traffic enforcement in Beaumont prior to the end of the year. The program is no longer financially feasible following changes to provincial guidelines in 2023 and 2025 that reduced eligible enforcement sites in the community from 79 down to 24.

Validity of existing tickets

All automated enforcement tickets issued up to December 6 remain in force. Drivers can follow the instructions on the ticket to pay the fine or dispute the ticket.

Ongoing traffic safety

Conventional traffic enforcement by RCMP and Beaumont Municipal Enforcement will continue and the City is looking into other options to further enhance community safety.

Net revenue from automated traffic enforcement is currently allocated to traffic safety initiatives, such as crosswalk upgrades. The City is evaluating other funding sources to maintain community safety as Beaumont continues to grow.

Visit the City’s ATE page for more information on automated traffic enforcement and a list of enforcement sites.
