Increase seen in ticket revenue from photo enforcement in Winnipeg

Police remind drivers to slow down in school zones

It appears some drivers in Winnipeg need an education to slow down in school zones.

Winnipeg police have seen a slight increase in ticket revenue from photo enforcement in its last fiscal quarter.

The Winnipeg Police Board heard it’s due to the speed limit being lowered in elementary school zones from 50 km/h to 30 km/h.

Police Chief Devon Clunis said he expects the number of tickets issued in school zones to level off as Winnipeggers familiarize themselves with the new speed reduction.
