You Will Be Reminded to Slow Down on City Streets.

 

 

 

After residents complained about motorists speeding coming off the Perimeter Highway down Green Street as well as in other areas the Citizens on Patrol Program decided to do something about it.  They have borrowed the SpeedCheck sign from the Manitoba Public Insurance SpeedWatch Program.  As they set it up last evening their chairperson Sinclair James explained it’s to educate drivers by notifying them they are exceeding the speed limit or maybe going below the speed limit.  He says the sign will flash if they’re exceeding the speed limit set on it and on most streets its 50 kilometers an hour and if they’re going 51 it will flash and if they’re going 60 it will flash even faster so it will bring awareness that people are watching out in school zones and things like that.

             

The portable SpeedCheck sign will be placed on various streets throughout the city until October monitored by members of COPPS who cannot issue tickets but will record the number of vehicles and their speed.
