A recent RCMP traffic enforcement operation in Western New Brunswick has resulted in one immediate roadside suspension, and 105 tickets being issued.

On January 23 and 24, 2025, members of the New Brunswick RCMP's Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) conducted a traffic enforcement operation in the St. George, St. Stephen, Minto and Oromocto regions. 

A total of 105 traffic violations were issued under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act, including a total of 65 for speeding. Two drivers were charged for operating a motor vehicle while driving privileges were suspended, and a number of warnings were also issued. 
One driver was issued an Immediate Roadside Suspension for the operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, one driver received a seven-day alcohol roadside suspension, and two drivers were issued tickets for driving without insurance coverage. All four of these drivers had their vehicles towed at the owner’s expense.  

"Several drivers are still not paying enough attention to the speed limits that are in place and are putting their safety and the safety of other motorists at risk," says Sgt. Ghislain David with the Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit. "In addition, the weather in New Brunswick changes quickly, which can significantly alter road conditions and make driving more difficult."

The New Brunswick RCMP's TTEU conducts regular, targeted traffic enforcement on roadways throughout the province with the goals of improving road safety, educating motorists about traffic laws and to reduce serious injury and fatal collisions.

The public can assist in keeping dangerous drivers off the road by reporting them to police. If you see a dangerous or a suspected impaired driver, call 911. Your description of the driver, vehicle, licence plate number and direction of travel can assist police in making New Brunswick roads safer.
