Officers also arrest two individuals and tow 11 vehicles during operation along Highway 2 and Western Valley Region communities
During a recent traffic operation by the New Brunswick RCMP’s Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) in the Western Valley Region, officers arranged to tow 11 vehicles and arrested two people on warrants.
In a news release, the RCMP said the TTEU conducted a traffic enforcement operation on Highway 2 and in communities of the Western Valley Region between Aug. 28 and Sept. 1.
The RCMP said the operation resulted in officers issuing 184 tickets for traffic violations under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act, including 118 tickets for speeding, 12 for not wearing a seatbelt, and five for driving without insurance coverage.
The RCMP said they had five vehicles towed and impounded for seven days for speeding more than 50 km/hr but less than 80 km/hr over the speed limit.
“We all have a role to play when it comes to making our roads and communities safer, and our top priority continues to be protecting the public by limiting the number of speeding on our roadways,” said Sgt. Ghislain David. “In addition, one person was charged with driving on a suspended licence, and two individuals were arrested on warrants.”
The New Brunswick RCMP’s Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) conducts regular, targeted traffic enforcement on roadways throughout the province to improve road safety, educate motorists about traffic laws, and reduce the number of serious injuries and fatal collisions.
The public can help keep dangerous drivers off the road by reporting them to police. If you see a dangerous or suspected impaired driver, call 911. Your description of the driver, vehicle, licence plate number, and direction of travel can assist police in making New Brunswick’s roads safer.
