Multiple Spring Vehicle Collisions under investigation with speed and aggressive driving considered to be a factor – Just Slow Down
The Winnipeg Police remind motorists that speed limits are established to promote safety for all road users. Excessive speeding, aggressive driving and street racing significantly increase the risk of serious collisions and endanger motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users.
In 2025, Winnipeg Police Service officers issued more than 13,194 speeding-related violations.
While speeding may save only a small amount of travel time, it can greatly increase both the likelihood and severity of a collision. Compliance with posted speed limits is an important part of keeping Winnipeg's roadways safe.
As the summer driving season is here, police encourage all motorists to slow down, exercise patience and make safe driving choices to help prevent injuries and save lives.
