New Traffic Laws for a Safer Saskatchewan
Traffic safety is a top priority for Saskatchewan people. To help prevent further fatalities, serious injuries and property damage on Saskatchewan roads, our government is acting on recommendations from a Special Committee on Traffic Safety. As a result, new laws take effect June 27, 2014.
Among the changes, which include mandatory booster seats for children under the age of 7, are stiffer penalties for impaired drivers. Drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs will face the same punishments, beginning with immediate seizure of their vehicles. Ignition interlock systems will become mandatory for those who are convicted. There will also be zero drug and alcohol tolerance for drivers under 19 years of age, for all drivers in the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program and
Motorcycle GDL program.
