<\/p>\nBut at the end of May, the company ended its contract with SGI early, taking its equipment with it. SGI didn\u2019t say why, just calling it a \u201cbusiness decision\u201d on the part of the vendor. 980 CJME has reached out to Verra Mobility Systems for comment.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
SGI declined an interview request, instead answering questions by email. The Crown corporation says it\u2019s working on transitioning to a new vendor for the province, but doesn\u2019t have a finalized contract yet.<\/p>\n
SGI wouldn\u2019t confirm whether all of the cameras are gone, saying only that the equipment is being replaced as part of the transition to a new vendor, and noting that speed enforcement locations will be temporarily inactive at certain points in that process.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the interest of road safety, we do not comment on the status or deployment of equipment at specific sites. Drivers should assume photo speed enforcement is in place at all locations and continue to obey posted speed limits,\u201d SGI said in a statement.<\/p>\n
A number of the cameras are located in Saskatoon, and the police force there said it will try to step up traffic patrols in the areas where the cameras were being used.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the next few weeks or until such time that the speed enforcement cameras are back online, members of the Traffic Unit will be adding these areas to their enforcement rotation as time permits,\u201d read a statement from the Saskatoon Police Service.<\/p>\n
The Regina Police Service said its traffic and road safety officers\u2019 work will continue as usual.<\/p>\n
A number of the photo speed enforcement camera boxes on Ring Road in Regina had lenses, but there appeared to be nothing else inside in mid-June. (Lisa Schick\/980 CJME)<\/p>\n
There are 27 camera locations in the province, and there were nine cameras that were moved between those locations. For example, one camera was moved between six separate sites on Ring Road in Regina.<\/p>\n
Revenue brought in from the program gets split up.<\/p>\n
From cameras in the cities, 25 per cent is sent to the provincial government\u2019s General Revenue Fund, then SGI is reimbursed for the cost of the program and the remaining amount is split evenly between the municipality and the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund, which gives grants to other municipalities for driver safety projects.<\/p>\n
From the cameras on highways, 25 per cent of the revenue goes to the General Revenue Fund, while the rest goes to the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund.<\/p>\n
SGI said when it is operational, the photo speed enforcement program issues an average of $1.3 million in fines each month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But at the end of May, the company ended its contract with SGI early, taking its equipment with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48],"class_list":["post-766232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
