Speeding in Alberta

 

"Improving and maintaining a good attitude towards driving is a key component to enhancing the safety of our roads." - www.sgi.sk.ca

 

 

For whatever reason, trust me no one will be impressed by having a near death experience or by a friend or loved one losing a licence. The fact is, speeding is responsible for almost 25 per cent of motor vehicle deaths in Alberta,  and many might not say to slow down to your face, to save you from embarrassment but they may avoid  driving with you for the rest of their life.

Legally one can be charged for driving to fast for the road conditions at any speed, however below is the list of fines one can get at different speeds;

 

All these speeding fines are applicable in construction zones 24 hours and 7 days a week; in addition to that if the workers are present then the fines will doubles.

Speeding in school zones and playground zones is far more dangerous because of kids, they don’t perceive the traffic on the road like grown ups. The potential of a collision is much higher and that’s why speed is reduced to 30 Km / H. If you are dropping a kid to school follow the speed limits be fully aware of the surroundings and don’t take a U-Turn where is dangerous or prohibited. Don’t forget in both school and playground zones it is illegal to pass.
