I am interested in booking the SpeedWatch equipment for speed checks on our street. Who do I contact to arrange this?
• Address: P.O. Box 6300, Room 802-234 Donald St., Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 4A4 • Telephone: 985-7199. SpeedWatch is an initiative of Manitoba Public Insurance and community partners, including the City of Winnipeg Traffic Assessment Branch, Manitoba Association of School Trustees (MAST), Winnipeg Police Service, RCMP, Brandon Police and other participating local police agencies. Local volunteers borrow radar-operated speed reader boards that display the posted speed limit and the driver’s speed. The equipment is set up in a safe location off the road where drivers can see it, during the days and times when volunteers feel speeding is the worst. Information about how fast drivers are travelling is forwarded to Manitoba Public Insurance for analysis. The program is intended for residential streets with light to medium traffic, where the speed limit is 50 kilometers an hour. For more information click here.
