October 19, 2023 – An innovative new approach to enhancing school zone safety and speed awareness was launched today by the City of Regina with partners from CAA, Regina Police Service and the Regina Public and Regina Catholic school divisions.

Working with the CAA Safety Patrol Program and the students and school employees who operate it daily, the new program features a backpack that’s worn by a student and a radar-based speed sensor held by another student. Drivers in select school zones will immediately see their speed and a corresponding colour. Speeds less than 30 km/hr – the school zone limit will show as green, or amber. Speeds over the 30 km/hr limit will be shown in red.
