A guide to how city streets are named.

ponsible for the maintenance of these expressway lights, outages can be reported to SaskPower. Outages: Report street light outages on the SaskPower website or by calling 1-888-757-6937. Street Lights Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), inform pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired when they have the right-of-way to cross at a signalized intersection. Accessible Pedestrian Signals use two audible tones with the visual pedestrian signals to designate the direction of the pedestrian right-of-way. For the north/south right-of-way, the ‘cuckoo’ audible tone is sounded, and for the east/west right-of-way, the ‘chirp’ audible tone is sounded. The APS units are also equipped with vibro-tactile features for pedestrians who are deaf or hard of hearing. Raised arrows on the APS indicate the crossing direction of the unit, which then vibrates in combination with the audible tone to indicate right-of-way for that crossing. APS units also use a ‘locator tone’ to assist pedestrians in locating the pushbutton. This tone currently varies between units as either a ‘beeping’ or a ‘ ticking’ sound. The City of Regina has 69 intersections equipped with APS. As part of its vision to be an inclusive and accessible community, the City is committed to retrofitting six signalized intersections with APS annually. Any newly signalized intersections with pedestrian access are automatically installed with APS. To request a location for APS installation, please contact Service Regina by submitting a Service Request. Requested locations are prioritized using criteria, such as intersection configuration and safety, pedestrian and vehicle volumes, and proximity to public transit and various pedestrian destinations. Accessible Pedestrian Signals Regina has 17 Touchless Accessible Pedestrian crosswalks in our community. The touchless signals allow users to activate the pedestrian crossing signals without the need to physically touch a button. They also emit an audible sound to help individuals with visual impairments to cross intersections safely. Users can continue to press the button like a traditional pedestrian signal if they choose. When a user wishes to cross the street, they simply need to wave their hand one to four inches away from the touchless pushbutton area to activate the signal. A radar sensor within the unit alerts the traffic controller unit that a pedestrian is ready to cross. If a user has a visual impairment, they will hear the audible tone advising when it is safe to cross the street. To request a location for touchless or APS installation, please contact Service Regina by submitting a Service Request. Requested locations are prioritized using criteria, such as intersection configuration and safety, pedestrian and vehicle volumes, and proximity to public transit and various pedestrian destinations. Touchless Accessible Pedestrian Signals Many signalized intersections have a button you may push to activate the WALK/DON’T WALK pedestrian signal. If the button is pushed, the WALK signal could stay on longer to allow you the extra time to cross the street. If the button is not pushed, more ‘green’ time could be given to motorists. This allows more traffic to travel through the intersection and reduces congestion. If you are at a signalized intersection with a pedestrian push button, you must use it or you will not get a WALK signal allowing you to cross. For some intersections that have heavy pedestrian volume, pedestrian phase could be provided every phase during off peak hours. Understanding Pedestrian Signals Pedestrian signals tell you when it is safe to cross: A "WALK" or “WALKING SYMBOL” means you may begin crossing. A flashing "DON'T WALK" or flashing “HAND SYMBOL” serves as a warning that it is to late to begin to cross the street. However, if you entered the cross walk before the signal began to flash, you should have enough time to cross the street. A solid "DON'T WALK" or solid ‘HAND SYMBOL” indicates that it is unsafe to cross the street. You should wait until the WALK signal appears again before crossing the street. Pedestrian Push Buttons at Signalized Intersections Signs Construction and detour signs are posted to warn you that road work is being done in the area. You must obey the speed limits posted on the signs, as these limits ensure the safety of workers and other motorists. Even if you cannot see any activity in a construction zone, you should reduce your speed to the posted limit because other hazards – like gravel chips and uneven pavement – may be present and cause damage to your vehicle if you are travelling at high speeds. You should also leave plenty of space between road crews/equipment and your vehicle when going through a construction zone and obey all directions by flag people. Construction & Detour Signs Children at Play signs are not part of the Canadian Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and therefore, are not used by the City of Regina. If you can buy it, its not legal. These signs are not recommended for municipalities because: studies show these signs have no effect on motorists to control speeding motorists need to watch for children playing near every residential street, and not just the street where the sign is located these types of signs suggest to children that it’s okay to play on the street, which is not the case The City of Regina only posts warning signs when motorists need to be advised of unusual or unexpected conditions. Children at Play Signs Learn more about no parking and no stopping zones. No Parking: Vehicles can only stop briefly to drop someone off or pick someone up in this zone. You may not park your vehicle and wait for someone. No Stopping: Vehicles must not stop here for any reason, including dropping off or picking up passengers. You may only stop here to obey traffic signals or signs, for emergency personnel, traffic flow, or due to an emergency. You must remain behind the wheel of your vehicle as it is illegal to stay parked for any length of time. ...
