LPS ramping up enforcement during Street Machine weekend
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Classic car enthusiasts are in for the usual summer treat in Lethbridge this weekend, but LPS warns that the owners of said cars need to follow the rules.
Acting Sgt. of the Traffic Response Unit Brent Paxman states there will be extra police resources on hand during the event.
“The intention is not to put a damper on those drivers who are respectful of others on the roadway and those who live in the area. [It’s] in response to a growing number of public complaints about loud mufflers, racing, and stunting.”
During the Street Machine Weekend, he notes that there is typically a large increase in activities such as stunting, racing, and exceptionally loud noises.
