Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Grant Program

Speed Awareness Initiative for R.M. of Leask – The presence of the solar radar sign in various locations throughout the municipality in recent weeks is due to grant approval by the Government of Saskatchewan Provincial Traffic Safety Fund.

Speeding on municipal roads is an ongoing issue. Slower speeds must be adhered to in order to keep residents and visitors to our municipality safe while they enjoy all of the available amenities. Future applications to this fund may yield additional radar signs to be placed in the R.M. to encourage safe and responsible driving practices.

Also, please feel free to contact the RM office, as information may
still be developing on this issue.
