RCMP issue 184 tickets during traffic enforcement operation

Between August 29, 2024, and September 1, 2024, the New Brunswick RCMP's Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) conducted a traffic enforcement operation on Highway 2 and in communities of the Western Valley Region, resulting in 11 vehicles being towed, and two individuals arrested on warrants.

A total of 184 traffic violations were issued under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act, including 118 tickets for speeding, 12 tickets for not wearing a seatbelt and five tickets for driving without insurance coverage on the vehicle. Five vehicles were also 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 with the goal of improving road safety, educating motorists about traffic laws, and reducing the number of serious injuries and fatal collisions.

The public can assist in keeping dangerous drivers off the road by reporting them to police. If you see a dangerous or a 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.
