The City of Spruce Grove is installing NoTraffic adaptive signal technology to help keep traffic moving smoothly and make it easier for commuters to reach their destination.
During the week of October 13, NoTraffic adaptive signal technology will be live at 12 intersections in Spruce Grove, with adjustments made throughout the week to optimize traffic flow:
- From Jennifer Heil Way and Dalton Link, south to Highway 16A
- From Highway 16A and Jennifer Heil Way, east to Pioneer Road
NoTraffic responds to real-time traffic conditions, adjusting signal timing as traffic changes throughout the day to help create a smoother, more efficient commute.
The city said for drivers this means better traffic light synchronization, less congestion and fewer delays along some of Spruce Grove’s busiest corridors.
The technology also provides valuable traffic data and safety insights that help the city improve traffic flow and safety.
NoTraffic only collects information needed for signal optimization and does not collect personal information, identify individual drivers or read licence plates.
While the technology can detect vehicle speeds to adjust signal timing, this information is not tracked, stored or linked to identifying information. Tickets are not issued through this system.
The expanded system follows a pilot project launched in April 2025 at two intersections along Jennifer Heil Way at Grove Drive and Hawthorne Gate.
The pilot tested the technology’s ability to detect and respond to traffic movements while integrating with the City’s existing traffic control infrastructure.
Following the successful pilot project, the expansion of NoTraffic technology to 12 intersections along Highway 16A and Jennifer Heil Way was brought forward to Council and approved as part of the 2026 Spring Budget Adjustment.
All 12 NoTraffic signal optimization locations will be activated, as of the week of October 13, 2026, with adjustments made throughout the week to optimize traffic flow.
