Road safety is one of the strategic priorities of the AbbyPD. Our Traffic Enforcement Unit recently launched an initiative targeting high-risk driving behaviours. Officers focused on Excessive Speeding and Street Racing in areas of concern identified by citizen complaints.
Throughout October and November of 2023, AbbyPD's Traffic Enforcement Unit dedicated twenty-one shifts to work on this project resulting in the following:
Excessive Speeders Taken off Road: 52
Street Racing or Stunt Drivers Taken off Road: 8
Prohibited Drivers Arrested: 3
Impaired Drivers Removed: 36
Drivers arrested & Charged Criminally for Dangerous Operational of a Motor Vehicle: 7
Total Violation Tickets Issue: 281
Total Vehicles Impounded During the Project: 104
We know that speed is one of the main factors in fatal collisions. The danger of excessive speeding and street racing poses a significant risk to the public.
AbbyPD is committed to ensuring high-risk drivers are removed from our roadways. Our Traffic Enforcement officers continue to be ever-present and innovative in ensuring safe roadways.
