REGINA – It’s been over a year since photo radars were installed on Saskatchewan highways – and it looks like they’re working.
According to SGI, the number of speeding violations has gone down significantly in all five of the camera’s locations in Regina, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, White City, Sask. and Martensville, Sask. The decrease ranging from 36 per cent to as much as 65 per cent.
But despite the success of photo radars on Saskatchewan highways, that same victory has not translated to deterring speeding in school zones.
Though speeding in Regina school zones is down by nearly 50 per cent since January last year, the number of speeding violations are up for school zones in Saskatoon. Violations have also more than doubled in Moose Jaw.
