Police say long weekend driving violations are 'concerning'

From Friday morning (July 29) to Monday morning, Fort Saskatchewan RCMP issued multiple tickets for driving violations in the city.

Thirty-five vehicles were pulled over for speeding over the long weekend and issued either a written warning or a violation ticket. RCMP also issued either provincial sanctions or criminal charges on four impaired drivers. 

“It is concerning that speed and alcohol/drug related impairments are still such an issue on our roads,” added RCMP Constable Lauren Mowbray. 

The City of Fort Saskatchewan is committed to the project Vision Zero - the long-term goal of zero traffic fatalities and severe injuries in the area.
