WINNIPEG — Manitoba Public Insurance is partnering with multiple police agencies to crack down on speeding at intersections throughout the province.
Winnipeg police, Brandon police and the RCMP will be adding officers to the streets targeting intersections that are prone to a high rate of collisions.
“Many of these intersection collisions could have been prevented if the drivers adjusted their speed and adhered to the on-site traffic signals,” said Satvir Jatana, MPI’s chief customer officer.
“While entering an intersection, the combination of speed and not adhering to a traffic signal, like a traffic light, is potentially fatal.
Police will also be looking for adherence to traffic control devices and drivers clearing the intersection before the light change.
The initiative, being funded by MPI, was recently launched and will continue until late fall.
