This was considered as a very successful project by the Southern Region of Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) in terms of performance. In the following years, MHI constructed a total of 9 projects; in 2007 (3 projects including a thin lift overlay), 2008 (1 project) and 2009 (5 projects) in Southern Saskatchewan with rubberized asphalt. Two of these projects had issues in terms of performance which was attributed to a relatively poor quality construction and few other factors. This paper describes all these projects in detail, their suitability from climate, aggregate resources, economics and overall performance to date perspective and various lessons learned from them so far. These projects are being continuously monitored to date. In addition to this, the paper describes the impact of construction practices and the resultant density and volumetrics on the performance of the rubber asphalt mat. RÉSUMÉ Le béton bitumineux au caoutchouc a été utilisé en Saskatchewan pour la première fois en 2005. Cela a été considéré par la région sud du Ministère des Routes et Infrastructures de la Saskatchewan (MRI) comme un projet très réussi en termes de performance. -

Abstract Safety hazards are increased in highway work zones as the dynamics of a work zone introduce a constantly changing environment with varying levels of risk. Excessive speeding through work and maintenance zones is a common occurrence which elevates the dangers to both drivers and motorists in the work zone. Although most work zones are controlled by reduced speed limits or state law enforcement, driver adherence to these regulations and laws in very minimal, especially in work zones. -

Traffic Law Enforcement: a Review of the Literature
MONASH UNIVERSITY TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE by Dominic Zaal April 1994 Report No. 53 This project was undertaken by Dominic Zaal of the Federal Office of Road Safety, Department of Transport while on secondment to the Monash University Accident Research Centre. The research was carried out during an overseas consignment for the Institute of Road Safety Research (SWOV), Leidschendam, The Netherlands. ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Date ISBN Pages 53 April 1994 0 7326 0052 9 212 Title and sub-title: Traffic Law Enforcement: A review of the literature Author(s): Zaal, D Sponsoring Organisation(s): Institute for Road Safety Research (SWOV) PO Box 170 2260 AD Leidschendam The Netherlands Abstract: A study was undertaken to review the recent Australian and international literature relating to traffic law enforcement. The specific areas examined included alcohol, speed, seat belts and signalised intersections. The review documents the types of traffic enforcement methods and the range of options available to policing authorities to increase the overall efficiency (in terms of cost and human resources) and effectiveness of enforcement operations. The review examines many of the issues related to traffic law enforcement including the deterrence mechanism, the effectiveness of legislation and the type of legal sanctions administered to traffic offenders. The need to use enforcement in conjunction with educational and environmental/engineering strategies is also stressed. The use of educational programs and measures targeted at modifying the physical and social environment is also briefly reviewed. The review highlights the importance of developing enforcement strategies designed to maximise deterrence whilst increasing both the perceived and actual probability of apprehension. -

Study and Report on Speed Limits
STUDY AND REPORT ON SPEED LIMITS Minnesota Department of Transportation PREFACE Mn/DOT has conducted the speed limit study and prepared this report to meet the requirements of Laws of Minnesota 2008, Chapter 287, Section 119, STUDY AND REPORT ON SPEED LIMITS. The cost to prepare this report was $85,850. This cost includes staff hours for MnDOT, City, and County participation in the task force meetings, preparation and review of meeting material and consultant contracts to facilitate the task force and prepare the final report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report documents a series of recommendations developed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation for speed limits on local roads. The report also describes the process Mn/DOT utilized to reach these recommendations. This process benefited from the participation of several local government engineers in a Task Force convened by Mn/DOT. Mn/DOT has conducted the speed limit study and prepared this report to meet the requirements of Laws of Minnesota 2008, Chapter 287, Section 119, STUDY AND REPORT ON SPEED LIMITS. The input of all of the Task Force members was valuable and informative and helped to form a consensus for the group’s recommendations. Implementation of speed limit statutes involves an overlap of two principles: • Definitions: what type of roadway the motorist is driving on, and • Speed Limits: what the appropriate speed is for that roadway. The direction from the Legislature to Mn/DOT acknowledged these two principles. Mn/DOT was specifically tasked to study and report on the following -
Hansard: March 11, 1966
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF SASKATCHEWAN Second Session — Fifteenth Legislature 24th Day Friday, March 11, 1966 The Assembly met at 2.30 on the Orders of the Day WELCOME TO STUDENTS Mr. C.G. Willis (Melfort-Tisdale): — Mr. Speaker, it is not very often I have the opportunity of rising in my seat and introducing students from the Melfort-Tisdale constituency. This is one of the occasions that I have that privilege. In the gallery, the Speaker's gallery, Mr. Speaker, there are 28 grade 12 pupils from the town of Star City in the heart of the Melfort-Tisdale constituency. They are accompanied by their teacher, Mr. Harrison, their bus driver, Mr. McArthur. I want to welcome them here today on your behalf, Mr. Speaker. I know that this day will stand out as one of the feature highlights of grade 12. Mrs. Sally Merchant (Saskatoon City): — Mr. Speaker, we have a great representation of students here this afternoon. It seems to me there is hardly a day goes by that the students in the Saskatoon schools don't avail themselves of the opportunity of coming down here and spending a day in Regina and in the assembly, but today we have two classes from Henry Kelsey School under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Peterson who are two of the teachers in the school. I know members will want to join with me and with other members from the city of Saskatoon in welcoming these students to this assembly. Hon. Members: — Hear, hear! Mr. J.E. Brockelbank (Saskatoon City): — Mr. -
A Multi-Actor Dialogue in Saskatchewan, Canada
Kenji Kitamura et al. Local communities and researchers working together Local communities and researchers working together for water security: A multi-actor dialogue in Saskatchewan, Canada Kenji Kitamura Research Institute for Humanity and Nature, Kyoto, Japan Susan Carr Prince Albert Model Forest John Kindrachuk Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve Mark Johnston Saskatchewan Research Council Maureen G. Reed School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan Key Messages • Multiple knowledge systems, from local to global, can be integrated through collaborative planning and dialogue among diverse actors. • Including local/Indigenous customs is important for meaningful collaboration. • Face-to-face dialogue is essential; it both broadens and deepens collaboration among diverse actors. This article reports and reflects on the implementation of a workshop we jointly organized in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in May 2016, with a theme of community-researcher collaboration in water security. Through the planning, implementation and reflection processes, several lessons were learned including the following three points. First, integration of knowledge at various scales was observed from the planning stage, where local actors provided knowledge on the severe issues at the local scale, while actors visiting from outside proposed a general framework for discussion. Both were important types of knowledge. Second, local customs adopted in the workshop played an important role in facilitating dialogue. They included respect to the Indigenous leaders and their perspectives, and the use of local foods catered for the lunch that were local products with con- nections to the workshop theme of water security. Third, a strong interest in the theme of the workshop helped to strengthen connections among participants. -

Hansard, I Quote the Minister, Saying
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF SASKATCHEWAN March 22, 1979 EVENING SESSION COMMITTEE OF FINANCE — CONTINUING EDUCATION — VOTE 5 (continued) Item 24 continued MR. G. TAYLOR (Indian Head-Wolseley): — I believe where we left off I was questioning the minister about the loans written off — the $5,935. I was wanting to know how many loans this had constituted, and if he could give me some indication of why these loans would be written off. MR. H.H. ROLFES (Minister of Social Services): — The reasons why they were written off are: (1) accounts uncollectable as a result of death, (2) accounts uncollectable as result of a court decision, (3) bankruptcy, (4) accounts uncollectable when unable to locate or unable to take legal action, (5) some small accounts where the Attorney General’s Department has advised no legal action as costs exceed amount outstanding. MR. TAYLOR: — I can accept that and thought that probably some of them may be due to death and that could be the case with some that are impossible to collect. I do notice, though, that between 1977 and ’78 this amount went from $722 to $5,935 which is to me a rather drastic increase. You did mention that some of these were hard to track down. Surely, Mr. Minister, you must have a system by which, if you loan money to a person, you can somehow keep track of them. I think that if this happened, that is if they start running off on them, we’re in a very dangerous situation. MR. ROLFES: — Mr. Chairman, we have really a fairly good record on collecting debts.
