I seem to remember local radio traffic reports that included reporting on photo radar locations. I wonder what the rationale was to out them?

Depends on the position of the PD/ND of the station.  If they disagreed with the notion that it was simply a cash grab, they'd have their Traffic person spill the beans.
 

photo radar in quebec is a joke.  in gatineau, they post permanent road signs...like they need more signs.... to say where the section begins and where it ends.  But with only a few portable radar units, it's entirely random,

To bring it around, radio does not announce the locations, but several traffic websites do.

It was a cash grab, plain and simple; is that what you miss the most?  Because it had no effect on speed control.  Sure, people slowed down when they were alerted to a radar van, and, once beyond its "circle of vision", they resumed speed, knowing there isn't another van for a fair bit.  

The 401 should have graduated speed lanes -- the right-most:  80-100.  The next lane:  passing.  Followed by: 100-110.  And finally, the left-most:  open that shtye up.  Get rid of any HOVs.

Have the po-po concentrate on real policing matters, instead of being glorified meter/speed maids.  No, I don't miss a left/pinko government entrapping me as I blissfully cruise past the blue hairs pounding on their dashes.
