Mounties who are cracking down on construction zone speeders this week are using what they call "non-traditional" enforcement strategies — such as dressing up in construction clothing rather than regular uniforms.

As part of stepped up enforcement in highway "orange zones" on Thursday, officers around Langham, Delmas, and Weyakwin in north-central Saskatchewan handed out tickets to 32 people.

It's illegal to drive faster than 60 kilometres per hour in orange zones — the name comes from the brightly coloured signs and pylons used — but on Thursday, speeds as high as 110 kilometres were recorded, police said.

Fines start at $140, with the amount going up for every kilometre per hour above 60.

In addition to giving out tickets for speeding in an orange zone, warnings were given in 15 cases. People were also stopped for driving without due care and, in one case, having a child in the car who wasn't properly buckled in.

The blitz is part of a strategy between the provincial government and police after a flag person on a road crew was killed near Midale last month. The province says it will step up enforcement around orange zones for the rest of the construction season.
