Project Background

The City of Regina created its first Community Safety Zone in the Cathedral neighbourhood as part of its Vision Zero framework in 2024.

Community Safety Zones provide enhanced protection for all road users in higher-risk areas by implementing a reduced speed limit of 30 km/h, in addition to other road safety measures. The Cathedral neighbourhood was selected to be the first Community Safety Zone because it has a high volume of vulnerable road users and features a unique mix of land uses including schools, daycares and an active commercial centre.

The City developed the framework to improve safety for all road users in Regina, including pedestrians, drivers and cyclists, over five years (2024 to 2029). Vision Zero is a concept that uses a data-driven and safe systems approach to improve traffic safety in the community, with a goal of eliminating all injury and fatality collisions in the transportation network.
