The installation is a metal artwork inspired by the land. The first layer is a bed of buffalo skulls that is a nod to the historical Cree term “Oskana-Ka-asateki: which loosely means, the place where the bones are piled together. The second layer of the diorama is of Bison running up as a representation of reconciliation and cultural revitalization. This signifies the resurgence of shared cultures and shared space found within Regina. The flora depicted in the diorama consists of interpretations of plants found around Wascana.

nd various pedestrian destinations. Touchless Accessible Pedestrian Signals Many signalized intersections have a button you may push to activate the WALK/DON’TWALK 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. Additionally, your vehicle must be moved immediately should traffic conditions warrant or if you are directed to do so by parking enforcement personnel. As well, you cannot park your vehicle: within 10m of an intersection with a painted crosswalk on the continuous side between the painted crosswalks at a “T” intersection within 2m of a fire hydrant in an alley unless the vehicle is being actively loaded or unloaded and is not blocking traffic within 3m of an alley that intersects with a street within 2m of any private driveway more than 0.6m away from the curb No Stopping or No Parking Signs Stop signs, 2-way stops, 3-way stops, and 4-way stops assign the right-of-way at that intersection and help to control traffic at busy intersections. Some people feel that installing a stop sign or all-way stop on their street will reduce speeding, however, this is not usually the case. Studies have shown that stop signs are ineffective at controlling speed along a street. Most motorists will speed up after they stop, and in many cases, actually drive faster to make up for the delay. Stop Signs: A stop sign may create more hazards if installed in the wrong place. As stated above, it may actually increase speeding. As well, motorists may ignore the stop sign if the intersection is always empty, thus becoming a danger to pedestrians and other motorists. All-Way Stops: The City of Regina uses a warrant standard developed by the Transportation Association of Canada to determine if an intersection should receive an all-way stop (e.g., 2-way, 3-way, 4-way). This standard considers the traffic volumes on the streets, the number of right-angle collisions, and speed limits. All-way stops are only installed at locations where two major streets intersect and traffic volumes on each street are about equal. If traffic volumes were not equal, the all-way stop would create unnecessary delays to the major flow of traffic. If you feel an intersection should be evaluated for an all-way stop warrant, submit a Service Request with the relevant information. Stop Signs & All-way Stops Traffic The City of Regina constantly studies traffic flow, volumes and speeds to ensure the most efficient and safe movement of motorists and pedestrians in Regina. Speed limits are determined based on provincial legislation and/or established North American traffic engineering procedures. If a situation warrants it, the City of Regina can monitor and investigate traffic volumes and speeds to determine if changes should be made. Monitoring Traffic Flow & Speed Limits The Traffic Bylaw identifies the speed limits for all roads in our community. These speed limits are determined based on dry pavement conditions. Within city limits, the default speed limit on all roads is 50 km/h unless otherwise posted. School zones are maximum 30 km/h as indicated by signage. Playground zones are maximum 30 km/hr or as indicated by signage. Refer to the Traffic Bylaw for information. Speed is enforced by Regina Police Service. Alleys are maximum 30 km/h. Construction zones with temporary speed reductions for safety must also be observed. All motorists are expected to reduce their speed in adverse weather conditions. The authority to change the legal speed limit on Regina roads rests with City Council, however, Administration makes recommendations on appropriate speed limits. Determining Speed Limits Calculating a recommended speed limit for a particular street is influenced by: roadway geometry adjacent land use traffic volumes accident history established North American traffic engineering procedures In North America, the procedure to establish an appropriate speed limit is based on the “85th percentile speed” principle. This means the speed limit will be set as near as practical to the speed at which 85% of vehicles are travelling along that road. Experience across North America has shown that 85% of drivers will operate their vehicle at a speed that is reasonable and prudent. Requests to Lower or Increase Speed Limits You may think lowering the posted speed limit will discourage speeding along your street. However, this is normally not the case. Research has shown that drivers will drive at a speed which they are comfortable 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. ...
