The Edmonton Police Service and automated enforcement issued 2,316 violations last month during Operation 24 Hours.
During the 24-hour enforcement period on Nov. 18, 2015, 1,971 speeding tickets were issued. There were also 345 violations issued for seatbelt infractions, distracted driving, impaired driving, traffic safety violations and Criminal Code violations.
This is a slight decrease from the 2,534 violations issued in the August 2015 enforcement blitz.
With 13 pedestrian fatalities in 2015 – a number unmatched since 2007 – enforcement campaigns such as Operation 24 Hours serve as a reminder to drivers to make safe decisions behind the wheel.
The Edmonton Police Service and the City of Edmonton coordinate regular enforcement campaigns throughout the year to improve traffic safety on city roadways.
