Radar Laser Detector Guide for Edmonton
Why do we write a radar detector buyer’s guide for Edmonton, Alberta specifically? The answer is simple. Edmonton and the surrounding 780-areas are known to have the most ridiculous speed enforcements in Canada.
Whether the reason for such police enforcement and ticketing is road safety or for collecting revenue for the city and province, we are here to provide radar and laser countermeasure recommendations for motorists who live in Edmonton or frequently travel through Northern Alberta.

Different Types of Speed Enforcement in Edmonton
- MultaRadar (MRCD) photo radar – commonly spotted photo speed enforcement units in forms of a roadside truck or van, or hidden in form of a discrete container box, often seen on city streets. MultaRadar is currently deployed across Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Medicine Hat, Alberta.
- DragonEye LidarCam – this photo LIDAR enforcement is frequently seen on both highways and city roads, with operator sitting on an overpass, centre median, or roadside.
- Handheld LIDAR speed trap – these are handheld or tripod-mounted laser guns used by the EPS and other police agencies.
- Stationary and Moving Radar (K / Ka bands) – police cruisers may be equipped with radar units, and can check vehicle speed while moving or in stationary.

The best protection from cops is a radar detector and laser jammer. I have only spent one state trooper using laser, and of course, it’s one that has led me to get laser jammers this year. You can now operate jammers in two ways. The smarter way is that many of them have a jam for X amount of seconds and then change into parking sensors. Good trick, by the way.
