Saskatchewan’s speed cameras will begin issuing tickets again in August, the province’s public auto insurer confirmed Tuesday.
The photo enforcement program went offline at the end of May after Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) lost its previous vendor. A new contract with Global Traffic Group Ltd. takes effect next month, restoring automated speed enforcement across the province.
New Vendor, Updated Equipment
SGI said the cameras will look different but operate under the same rules. The old camera boxes will be replaced with pole-mounted units, though no new locations will be added. The exact position of each camera may shift slightly to fit existing infrastructure.
“The most visible change will be the equipment,” SGI stated in a news release. Fines, signage, and enforcement zones—including high-risk areas like Regina’s Wascana Parkway and Saskatoon’s Circle Drive South Bridge—will remain unchanged.
Why Speed Cameras Were Shut Down
The previous vendor terminated its contract earlier than planned, forcing SGI to take the cameras offline in late May. While the system was down, police continued monitoring speeding drivers on Saskatchewan roads.
SGI maintains the program is designed to reduce collisions, injuries, and fatalities by encouraging drivers to slow down in high-risk zones. The agency did not specify whether additional cameras would be added in the future.
What Drivers Should Expect
Enforcement resumes in August with no changes to ticketing procedures or fine amounts. Drivers will notice new camera hardware at existing locations, but the program’s scope and purpose remain the same.
SGI has not announced plans to expand photo enforcement beyond current sites. Motorists are advised to watch for updated signage and equipment in the coming weeks.
