LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) says it continues to catch drivers who are in violation of various traffic laws.

Officers conducted a traffic enforcement initiative this past weekend and removed one impaired driver from the road.

LPS also charged one suspended driver and towed four vehicles.

A total of 27 violation tickets were issued under the Traffic Safety Act for offences including speeding, vehicle equipment regulation violations, and not having insurance.

The police service says in a media release that “Public complaints about speeding, racing, stunting, and loud vehicles have increased and the [Traffic Response Unit] hopes the highly visible police presence will help reduce these behaviours.”
