    Alberta - 35% increase in traffic fines start today

    http://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=605014

    "Those who run red lights, fail to stop at crosswalk signals, or have a habit of speeding are going to have to dig deeper into their pocketbooks if caught by police.
    As part of the Alberta government's 2015 fiscal budget, a number of fines will increase by an average of 35% for certain traffic offences.
    General speeding fines will now range from $78 to $474, and $156 to $949 through construction zones. The fine for failing to obey a red light will increase from $287 to $488, and from $172 to $233 for failing to stop at a signal/crosswalk or advancing into an intersection controlled by a flashing red light in an unsafe manner."

    Ouch! At least you don't have immediate vehicle impounds + fines for excessive speeding like here in B.C. Politicians are good at collecting revenue aren't they?
