City of Saskatoon stopping prohibition bylaw aiming to enhance pedestrian safety
March 19, 2024 - 9:00am
The City of Saskatoon has passed amendments to Bylaw No. 7200, The Traffic Bylaw, aimed at improving pedestrian safety.
The updated bylaw includes a 15-metre stopping prohibition before marked pedestrian crosswalks, along with a 10-metre stopping prohibition after the crosswalk, unless otherwise specified by traffic signs.
"While our city continues to grow, it's imperative that we prioritize the safety of all road users, particularly pedestrians," says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation.
"These amendments will reduce potential conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians at crosswalks."
The stopping prohibition means drivers cannot stop or park their vehicle in the parking lane near a crosswalk. This will help to increase pedestrian visibility and enhance safety.
Signs will not be installed at every location affected by these new regulations. It is essential for residents to be informed of the new bylaw.
