What I realized from our traffic infractions is that Winnipeg actually needs more — not less — police presence on the road. Addressed to my husband, it also was a traffic light camera ticket issued on July 31, about 45 minutes earlier. Seiff says she got her traffic ticket for going 65 km/h in a poorly marked construction zone on Waverley, where the speed limit is usually 70 km/h. This issue isn't news either — Winnipeg has a notoriously short yellow light cycle in its traffic signals. Police officers, who can exercise their own judgment, are more useful than cameras for enforcing traffic laws, Seiff says.
