There is now a 15 metre stopping prohibition before marked pedestrian crosswalks as well as a 10 metre stopping prohibition after the crosswalk. In essence it means drivers cannot stop or park their vehicle in the parking lane near a crosswalk. The City of Saskatoon says there was always a bylaw, but the distances have been updated to align with national guidance. The goal is to increase pedestrian visibility and safety.

Because the City of Saskatoon won’t be installing signs at every location, residents need to be informed of the new bylaw. The fine would be $50 if paid within 2 weeks, otherwise it rises to $100.
