Twilight time

Who other than young do not know the difference between dawn and dusk, sunrise and sunset? Well, it seems a lot of adult/teenage drivers dont.

Playground zones in the City of Red Deer are in effect from dawn to dusk. To give the drivers the benefit of doubt we only enforce the speed limit from half an hour after sunrise to half an hour before sunset. Example, today dawn is at 7:50am the sunrise is at 8:28am, dusk is at 5:45pm and the sunset is at 5:07pm. We will not ticket until 9am or after 4:30pm. Also we set our speed limit at 13kph(8mph) over the posted limit, so if you are going at a speed of 30kph(18.6mph) you won't get a ticket until 43kph(26.7mph) Still, there are drivers who will contest the ticket just after 9am or just before 4:30pm because "I did not see the sun yet, or the sun had gone down". More so if it is cloudy and they can not see the sun at all. The time is on the ticket. Google or look up the time for dawn and dusk before you complain people! Jeeze you have already been given a break. School zones? Hey, it is set times that every driver MUST know. Still, we allow 13kph over the limit before we ticket, and people still complain.
