fortable with, regardless of the posted speed limit. In fact, unrealistically low speed limits can invite violation by responsible drivers and create new problems in our neighbourhoods: Artificially low speed limits increase the difference between the fastest and slowest drivers which has been proven to reduce safety. Artificially low speed limits lead to shortcutting on nearby streets. Increasing speed limits may also not be feasible depending on roadway geometry, adjacent land use, or previous accident history for that street. Submit a Service Request if you wish to request a review of the speed limit on a certain street. Speed Limits Each year, the City of Regina collects traffic data at hundreds of locations. This information is used to determine the need for traffic signals, all-way stops, pedestrian protection and traffic calming. The Annual Traffic Flow Map shows the average number of motorists travelling on major Regina roads in one 24-hour period. Traffic flow volumes listed are the total of vehicles travelling in both directions. Since Regina is so large, the city is divided into different counting areas which are systematically counted over a set period. The City of Regina does not normally count roads and residential streets with traffic volumes under 1000 vehicles a day.

View Map PDF Traffic calming refers to techniques that are available to lessen the number of vehicles or reduce the speed of vehicles travelling in a residential neighbourhood. The City of Regina follows very specific guidelines to determine which roads and streets are approved for traffic calming techniques. Traffic Calming Techniques There are four traffic calming techniques used in our community: Vertical deflectors: Vertical deflectors are devices like speed humps, rumble strips and raised intersections/ crosswalks. If you speed over a vertical deflector, you will experience an unpleasant jolt and possibly damage your vehicle. Drivers did not see the vertical deflector or choose to ignore it may lose control of their vehicle and causing more damages to the properties and people adjacent. They are also increasing the response time of emergency vehicles, and damaging snow removal equipment. Therefore, the City will not consider installing any new vertical deflectors. Horizontal deflectors: Horizontal deflectors are devices like chicanes, traffic circles, median islands and curb extensions or chokers. Horizontal deflectors reduce both speed and traffic volumes by making a route more difficult to drive at a high speed and make it more time-consuming (when compared to alternate routes.) Obstructions: Obstructions are devices like traffic diverters, intersection restrictions, directional closures, and full closures. These devices control traffic volumes, restrict traffic movements, and reduce short-cutting by prohibiting certain movements or restricting access altogether by motorists. Speed feedback signs: Speed feedback signs are used as a traffic calming device to slow vehicles down by making drivers aware when they are driving at speeds above the posted speed limits. Request Traffic Calming Submit a Service Request to request a street be reviewed for traffic calming. Once received, your request will go through a two-step process: 1. Investigation Verify the reported problem Determine if traffic calming will resolve the problem Submit the request to emergency service providers to review to ensure the proposed calming will NOT impact response times Determine if funds are available to implement the traffic calming measures 2. Implementation hosting an open house about the proposed traffic calming project conducting a public survey where two thirds of returned surveys must be in favour of the project The traffic calming project can only proceed if it receives positive responses in Step 1 and 2. If your traffic calming request is denied: Most speeding on residential streets is done by motorists who live in that area. To encourage everyone to drive the speed limit, you can: encourage your neighbours and visitors to drive the speed limit when travelling down your street write an article for your community association newsletter set an example by obeying the rules of the road and posted speed limits when you drive Traffic Calming Understanding Parking Crosswalk/Street Painting Permit
