Drivers caught speeding in school zones.

At the start of November over four days the RCMP traffic services handed out 45 school zone violation tickets.

Of these tickets was for one driver who was caught travelling 69 km/h in a 30 km/h school zone along Hollywood Road South.

Outside of the school zone violations, traffic officers also impounded four vehicles for excessive speed in other locations, including one vehicle travelling 108 km/h in a 60 km/h along Glenmore Road and another travelling 105km/h in the 60 km/h portion of Highway 33.

“Speeding in an active school zone is considered high-risk driving behaviour and will not be tolerated,” Cpl. Michael Gauthier. “These enforcement initiatives will continue until the message is clear, slow down and help us keep our roads safe.”
