Drivers speeding in work zones on Saskatchewan highways run the risk of getting ticketed by the Highway Transport Patrol. Transport officers will be situated in work zones across the province and issue speeding tickets to any driver exceeding 60 km/h. Once the province's new photo radar system is in place later this spring, transport officers will occasionally augment the new system and the RCMP. The Highway Transport Patrol's primary role is the enforcement and education of commercial vehicle regulations, including speed enforcement. Increased enforcement is part of a package of safety improvements implemented in work zones since the death of flag person Ashley Richards in the summer of 2012. Information on other safety improvements can be found at the following link http://highways.gov.sk.ca/workzone/.
