Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg police are testing a new type of traffic camera at the intersection of Portage Avenue and Mount Royal Road.
The camera was installed on Oct. 5, as part of an approximately 30-day test, the Winnipeg Police Service said Wednesday.
Police said the device, dubbed the DriveSafe Enforcement System, uses video tracking, radar and licence-plate recognition technology, rather than simple photographs.
The service’s current speed and red-light cameras are obsolete, police said, and the test is meant to review new technology.
However, police said they won’t issue or process traffic violations via the camera during the testing period, nor will police keep any information the new system records.
Any new, permanent traffic camera systems will need to be approved under provincial legislation.
