SLOW TO 60KM WHEN REQUIRED BY LAW
The Regina Police Service is reminding motorists of the provisions in the Traffic Safety Act which require motorists to slow down to 60 km/hr when passing emergency vehicles with emergency lights in operation. Regina Police, along with RCMP members will be conducting targeted enforcement today: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 on Regina's Ring Road. Details requiring motorists to slow to 60 km/h for emergency vehicles (on roadways where the posted speed limit is greater than 60 km/hr) can be found in Section 204(1) of the province's Traffic Safety Act.
Motorists are reminded that, even though road conditions are generally good at this time of year, they still need to be on the lookout for emergency vehicles and adjust their speed as required by law. Drivers should remember:
- Emergency lights are often the first sign of a problem. Watch for the red/blue/white lights of police vehicles (but also pay attention to the flashing amber lights of tow trucks or construction crews, re: Sections 203-205, Traffic Safety Act.).
- Be on the lookout for police officers and other emergency responders who may be out of their vehicles and dealing with a situation on foot.
- Start slowing down well in advance of the scene,
- Expect that others will have reduced their speed and prepare to come up on slower-moving traffic,
- Anticipate possible lane obstructions and the need to merge lanes.
The fines for failing to slow to 60 km/hr (as per Section 204(1) of the Traffic Safety Act) start at $210.00 and increase two dollars for every kilometer over the 60 km/hr requirement.
The Regina Police Service reminds motorists everyone can contribute to safety on our roadways. Good driving skills include following other traffic at a safe distance, and slowing down to 60 km/hr or less when passing emergency responders with emergency lights activated.

TRAFFIC FOCUS OF THE MONTH
During the month of September, Regina Police Service members will be directing attention to traffic offences in school zones and playground areas, with particular emphasis on speeding violations.
As part of Traffic Focus of the Month, strategic enforcement initiatives targeting school zone offences will be conducted the entire month of September. Motorists are reminded to pay renewed attention to school zones. Police officers will be enforcing speed limits in school zones, and remind motorists that school and playground speed limits of 40 km/h, are in effect from 8:00 am till 10:00 pm seven days a week. Motorists are asked to consider that for every kilometer over the speed limit a vehicle travels: stopping distances increase, reaction time (the time to avoid a collision) decreases and likelihood of serious injury or death in a pedestrian collision increases. Chances of pedestrian fatality double when the vehicle speed is increased from 40 km/h to 50 km/h. Most children know about crosswalk safety, but motorists should remember that children may be distracted by friends and the day's events.
The fine for speeding in school zones starts at $190.00 and increases depending on the violator's speed. The Regina Police Service commends those motorists who practice safe driving habits and encourages all drivers to respect the rules of the road. Remember, being more cautious, obeying all traffic laws and being a safe, courteous driver, will enhance the safety of our children and make Regina a safer community for all.
