The Portage La Prairie By-Pass is heavily policed, with several speed trap locations on the by-pass for east and westbound traffic. On the east end of the by-pass, the RCMP regularly sit on the south side of the overpass targeting vehicles going west coming over the overpass. The RCMP also sit in the centre median ditch – 1 km west of the Southport exit and at the Yellowquill Trail intersection, targeting either west or eastbound traffic from both locations.
