The Weyburn/Estevan Joint Tactical Support Team are training in Whitecap Arena and the Weyburn Leisure Center on Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00am to 4:00 pm. These are routine training exercises and with no danger to the public. Please stay clear of these areas, if possible.

ICY ROAD CONDITIONS Please do not drive unless you have to this morning, as the streets are extremely icy. If you do need to go out, please drive slow and give yourself ample room to stop. If you need to walk, please ensure you have cleats or very good grips on your boots.

FOUND Dresser on the road at Highway 39 and 3rd Street today. Must describe to claim. Please call WPS at 306-848-3250.

Flashing amber lights on a school bus mean slow down and use caution. Flashing red lights with the stop arm out mean you must stop, whether approaching or following the bus. Let's keep our children safe as they get on and off the bus. @SGItweets

It's back-to-school season, which means we all need to be extra careful in school zones. A moment of distraction could be a tragedy. Drivers, please slow down to the posted speed limit, obey all signs, and be prepared for the unexpected actions of children. @SGItweets

#Myth: Talking on a hands-free device isn’t distracting. #Fact: Hands-free devices remove the need to hold your phone, but the conversation itself distracts your mind from driving and raises crash risk. @SGItweets

Parents, let’s teach kids road safety: remind them to “Stop, Look, and Listen” before crossing, use sidewalks when available, and if not, walk on the left side facing traffic. Find more back-to-school tips on the SGI website! 1l.ink/GKRRFX8 @SGItweets

School is back in session, and the safety of our children is a top priority. School zones are busier than ever with kids walking and biking to school. Slow down and obey the posted speed limits. Don't be the reason a child doesn't make it home safely. @SGItweets

#DidYouKnow: A car going 50 km/h travels about 13.9 meters (45 feet) in just one second. One second is enough to be distracted, leading to a collision. Distracted drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a collision than attentive drivers. @SGItweets

Did you know a single distracted driving ticket in Saskatchewan costs you big time? The first offense is a $580 ticket and four demerit points. A second offense within a year skyrockets to a $1,400 ticket, four more demerits, and a seven-day vehicle impoundment. @SGItweets

A police officer can ticket you for distracted driving, whether reading, writing, grooming, or more. One moment of inattention can be fatal. Keep your hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, and help keep our community safe. @SGItweets

As students return to school, intersections and crosswalks will be full of young pedestrians. Don’t let a distraction turn into a tragedy. Stay focused behind the wheel and help protect our kids. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGItweets

Uncontrolled rural intersections might not look dangerous, but they are. Saskatchewan sees around 750 crashes and 18 deaths every year in these spots. Whether you’re driving a gravel grid or coming off a highway, stay alert. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGITweets

A red light isn’t the time to check your phone or plan your road trip. Even brief distractions can have serious consequences at intersections. Stay present and drive safe. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGItweets

In the past five years, 29% of traffic deaths and 60% of injuries in Saskatchewan happened in intersection collisions. We're working hard to bring those numbers down, and we need your help. Keep your eyes on the road. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGITweets

The Weyburn Police Service is accepting applications for Police Constables—both new recruits and experienced officers are welcome to apply. Join our team. Protect and grow with us. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGItweets

Intersections can be unpredictable—even familiar ones. To stay safe, always look both ways, watch for light changes, don’t assume other drivers will do the right thing, and never pass through an intersection. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGITweets

#DidYouKnow: In 2023, distracted driving caused 1 in 5 collisions in Saskatchewan, and many happen right where roads meet. Be alert. Be responsible. Be present. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGItweets

August’s #TrafficSafetySpotlight is all about distracted driving at intersections. Whether you're checking your phone or just not paying attention, a moment of distraction can cause a lifetime of consequences. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGITweets

#TrafficTip: Whether it’s foggy, rainy, or dusk is setting in, headlights matter. They help you see and be seen. Don’t wait—turn them on anytime visibility drops. #CTSSask #SKCheckStop @SGITweets
