Saskatchewan speed cameras temporarily inactive during vendor switch

Drivers in Saskatchewan may find some speed cameras temporarily inactive as the provincial insurer, SGI, navigates a transition to a new vendor for its photo enforcement program. This shift comes after SGI's agreement with its former provider, Veera Mobility Systems, was terminated on May 31.

Veera Mobility Systems reportedly decided to end its services earlier than originally scheduled, leading to the current transition period. SGI, which operates cameras in high-collision and pedestrian-heavy areas across the province, is in the process of integrating a new vendor into its system.

The previous vendor made a business decision to end services earlier than originally planned.

During this interim phase, SGI has cautioned that speed cameras might be "temporarily inactive at points." However, the insurer assured the public that police continue to monitor drivers' speeds. The province utilizes nine speed-enforcement cameras that rotate through school zones and highways, a system introduced after a 2014 pilot project.

The previous vendor, Veera, was selected in 2019 and was compensated on a per-camera basis, covering installation and ticket issuance. SGI is now working to establish its new vendor relationship to ensure the continued operation of the speed camera network.
