Speeding Violations Decreasing in Photo Speed Enforced Zones

Released on February 17, 2015

The number of people speeding through photo speed enforcement locations in the province has decreased month over month.

“Photo speed enforcement has been proven to calm traffic and while it’s still early days, we’re seeing a positive effect in Saskatchewan’s photo speed enforced locations after only two months of the pilot,” Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said.  “Final January results are in and it’s encouraging to see more drivers respecting speed limits.  We are hopeful these results will continue as awareness increases.”

When comparing the number of violations (per day) in December to January, results show a significant decrease. Highlights include:

  • 33 per cent average decrease at high-speed locations
  • 64 per cent average decrease at school zone locations
  • greatest decrease at a high-speed location was 64 per cent (at Highway 1 east)
  • greatest decrease at a school zone location was 78 per cent (in Saskatoon)

Photo speed enforcement is being piloted at the following locations around the province:

  • Saskatoon locations – Circle Drive and select school zones
  • Regina locations – Ring Road and select school zones
  • Moose Jaw locations – Highway 1 and 9th Avenue intersection and select school zones
  • Highway 1 east between the Pilot Butte turnoff and White City
  • Highway 12 near Martensville
Warning letters are being issued to those speeding at these locations until ticketing begins on March 8, 2015.  Photo speed enforced zones are clearly marked with signs.
