The City of Regina is developing a new Framework to improve safety for all road users in Regina, including pedestrians, drivers and cyclists, over the next five years. 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 on our transportation network.
A safe systems approach provides an integrated, comprehensive process to improve the safety of our transportation systems. This can be achieved through employing safe land-use planning, safe road design, safe speeds, safe users and post-crash care.
A review of collision data over a 5-year period was conducted as a foundation in the development of the Framework. By looking at common collision factors of resulting in injury and fatalities, five focus areas were identified for Regina’s Framework.
Residents are invited to visit one of four pop-up information booths to learn about the Vision Zero concept, the Framework Development process, and components of the action plan including key focus areas.
Thursday, November 16 – Sportplex, 1717 Elphinstone St. - 6 to 8 p.m.
Saturday, November 18 – Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre, 3130 Woodhams Drive – 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Monday, November 20 – Regina Public Library (Central), 2311 12th Ave. – 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, November 22 – Northwest Leisure Centre, 1127 Arnason St. - 6 to 8 p.m.
Following these outreach opportunities, input gathered will be reviewed together with collision data analysis, technical expertise and stakeholder feedback as the Framework is finalized.
The data-driven Framework, which includes an action plan with key focus areas, will serve as a roadmap for road-safety initiatives, programs and collaboration points with our community partners and stakeholders over the next five years. The Framework will be brought forward to City Council in spring of 2024 for review and approval.

Vulnerable road users are pedestrians, cyclists, and active transportation users in our City.
Collisions in this focus area have a high chance of resulting in a major injury or fatality. In a review of collision data for a study period between 2015 and 2019, 15% of injury/fatal collisions involved pedestrians or cyclists.
As part of our action plan, countermeasures will be developed to provide active transportation infrastructure, pedestrian crossing improvements, and school zones resources.
Aggressive Driving includes driving behaviours that include speeding, stunting, or driving carelessly. This often results in drivers exceeding the speed limit, disobeying traffic controls, or failing to safely yield.
In a five-year review of collision data between 2015 and 2019, 65% of injury/fatal collisions had aggressive driving as a factor.
Our Framework’s action plan will include neighbourhood traffic calming, educational awareness programs, safe speed initiatives, enforcement programs, among many othermeasures.
Intersection collisions include both signalized and unsignalized intersections that result from right angle, rear end, or left turn collisions.
In a five-year review of collision data between 2015 and 2019, 85% of injury/fatal collisions occurred at an intersection. Most fatal and injury collisions reported in Regina appear to have occurred at intersections.
The action plan will provide actions which include data-driven engineering improvements, intersection control reviews,and enforcement programs.
Impaired driving collisions involve those who have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Other human behaviours, such as extreme fatigue or drowsiness are also contributing factors to this focus area.
In a five-year review of collision data between 2015 and 2019,6%ofinjury/fatalcollisionshaddriving under the influence as a factor.
Our action plan will concentrate on increasing educational awareness in our community through collaborating with our stakeholders, enforcement initiatives, and establishing awareness resources for our community.
Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of injury and fatalities on Canadian roads. Human behaviours resulting in inattentiveness or distractions can include the use of mobile devices, consuming foodwhile driving, or completing an action that takes your attention away from the road.
In a five-year review of collision data between 2015-2019, 11%ofinjury/fatalcollisionshad distracted driving as a factor.It is also likely that distracted driving can be underreported as a contributing factor to collisions on our roadways.
A combination of engineering actions, together with a community awareness programs and stakeholder collaboration will be implemented as part of the Framework’s action plan.
