WINNIPEG - Winnipeg Police are no longer using photo radar in construction zones marked with speed reductions signs "when workers are present."

Photo radar will not be used in construction zones that have signs indicating a maximum speed "when workers are present," police said in a release today.

PHIL.HOSSACK@FREEPRESS.MB.CA Photo radar will still be used in construction zones where speed limits are marked with signs like this one.

Instead of photo radar, speed limits will be enforced using "traditional enforcement methods (police officers)," polices said.

Photo radar will still be used around two other types of construction sites:

On streets that normally have posted speeds of 70, 80 or 90 km/h where speed limits will be reduced 24 hours per day, seven days per week, for the entire duration of the project. For example, on Bishop Grandin Boulevard westbound between Lagimodiere Boulevard and Island Shore Boulevard.



In these areas, speed limits are marked with a sign such as "Maximum 60 km/h." The beginning of the construction zone is marked with a "Roadwork" sign, and the end of the zone has a "Construction Ends" sign.



In these areas, speed limits are marked with a sign such as "Maximum 60 km/h." The beginning of the construction zone is marked with a "Roadwork" sign, and the end of the zone has a "Construction Ends" sign. On streets posted with 50 or 60 km/h speed limits, where the speed limit is not changed. These zones are also signed with the "Roadwork" and "Construction Ends" signs like on the higher speed routes. However, on these lower speed streets the existing posted speeds are acceptable during construction and therefore are not changed.
