[JAGNUTS] 60 kph zones

[M.E. & E.A. Driver]

Greetings

I have just returned from Manitoba  where I was stopped by the RCMP
and given a warning citation.  I had passed an RCMP vehicle dealing with
another motorist in the lane I was travelling,  I passed the RCMP vehicle
and the stopped car by moving over into the coming traffic lane well in advance
and dropping my speed to 75-80 Kph.  The same RCMP officer collected
me shortly afterwards.  He stated that in Manitoba legislation had been
passed last year which included RCMP as an emergence vehicle.  This applies
to the RCMP vehicle stopped with its flashers on.  You must slow down to
60 kph when passing in this situation.  Apparently in Manitoba the fine
for passing in excess of 60 kph is $247 plus VAT.  So my question is does
the same legislation exist in Saskatchewan  - the 60 kph orange zones are a given
but I am wondering about other situations such as I described.

Kind regards
Ed
