The Hanna RCMP, Red Cliff RCMP Traffic Services, Brooks RCMP Traffic Services, Alberta Sheriffs and Special Areas Officers have been working together this summer construction season to enhance the safety of the highways during high traffic times and enforcing legislation within construction zones.
Recently, a Special Areas Peace Officer was working within the construction zone at Hwy 36 and Hwy 570 and handed out 17 violations which included three passing violations, two distracted driving violations and speeding violations.
Four of the speeding violations were greater than 50 km/h over the posted speed limit within the construction zone and one of the violations was 75 km/h over the posted speed limit within the construction zone.
This is extremely dangerous to the workers and we are thankful to Special Areas for their critical assistance with the construction zones.
