EDMONTON — More than 2,800 tickets were issued during a one-day enforcement campaign last week by Edmonton police and the City of Edmonton.
In the 24-hour blitz on June 30, 2,527 speeding tickets were handed out as well as 281 additional violations, including seatbelt infractions, impaired driving, distracted driving, traffic safety violations and Criminal Code violations.
“The overall focus of this campaign is to reduce collisions and keep the Edmonton roadways as safe as possible,” said EPS Staff Sergeant Randy Loxterkamp, Specialized Traffic Operation Section.
The total number of violations was up from the April enforcement initiative, which saw 2,259 tickets issued.
