Speed limits, stunting and racing: key rules to remember

Our summary of what the official handbook says on this topic, in our own words. Read it before or after the practice questions above, then check the original chapter. Read the official chapter ↗

Speeding, stunting and racing

  • Speed limits apply on all Saskatchewan roads. Emergency vehicles responding to an emergency may exceed them.
  • No speed limit signs: the limit is 80 km/h.
  • Signs at a town or city entrance apply everywhere within community boundaries unless otherwise posted.
  • The speed limit is the fastest you may go under ideal conditions; never drive faster than conditions allow, and do not drive so slowly that you block traffic.
  • Stunting/racing behaviours that can bring a ticket, suspension and impoundment: racing side by side over the limit, chasing another vehicle, weaving through lanes to pass unsafely, trying to lift tires off the road, spinning a vehicle, driving while not in the driver's seat, blocking a vehicle from passing, stopping or slowing to interfere with another vehicle.
  • Maximum 60 km/h when passing tow trucks, service vehicles or emergency vehicles stopped with lights flashing, and when passing Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure equipment with lights flashing whether moving or not.
  • Work zones: do not exceed the posted work zone speed. Speeding fines when passing workers or occupied equipment start at $240 plus $6 to $12 per km/h over (depends on speed). Some cities require the work zone limit through the whole construction area.
  • Tow truck stopped helping a disabled vehicle with amber, or amber and blue, lights flashing: slow to 60 km/h.
  • School zone speed limits are set by each city or town through bylaws; watch for signs. With no signs, still slow down and be careful.
  • Photo radar is used in some work zones, school zones and high-risk locations; tickets go to the registered owner.
  • You must slow down approaching animals on or near the road.

Grid, municipal and resource access roads

  • No posted limit: 80 km/h under ideal conditions.

Vehicle impoundments (speed-related)

  • Excessive speeding (double the posted limit or more, or 50 km/h or more over): 30-day impoundment. Stunting: 30 days. Racing or contest of speed: 30 days.
