Alberta Traffic Safety Campaign (April) - Speeding

Did you know that of the 498 tickets issued in April by Parkland County Enforcement, 335 of them (over 67%) were for speeding?! Speeding remains a significant concern in Alberta, contributing to numerous traffic accidents and fatalities each year. During the month of April, law enforcement officers throughout the province have stepped up patrols for speeding violations.

As part of the Provincial Traffic Safety Campaign, Alberta Transportation and local law enforcement agencies have been working together to raise awareness about the dangers of speeding. Excessive speed reduces reaction times, increases stopping distances, and diminishes the effectiveness of safety features like seatbelts and airbags.

By highlighting these risks, the campaign aims to encourage drivers to adhere to speed limits and drive responsibly to protect themselves and others on the road. Through these combined efforts, law enforcement agencies throughout Alberta aim to foster a culture of safe driving and reduce the prevalence of speeding-related accidents.

Building Safer Communities...Together.
