Construction work continues in the east central parts of the province, including work on highways 5 and 6.
Crews are hard at work on highway 5 east of Quill Lake with bridge construction while crews on highway 6 are working on resurfacing the highway north of the highway 16 junction.
Motorists traveling in those areas are asked to obey the posted 60 km/hr signs, even if there are no workers present.
“There may be cases in other work zones when workers are not present that require you to slow down. A sharp pavement drop or loose stones during a seal coat are examples of hazards that warrant a slower posted speed,” said the Saskatchewan government press release.
In July of 2017, 182 people were ticketed in work zones, says Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI).
Speeding fines in a work zone is triple that of a regular speeding ticket.
