A recent RCMP traffic enforcement operation in Southeastern New Brunswick has resulted in 30 vehicles being towed, and 241 tickets being issued.

Between August 20 and 22, 2025, members of the New Brunswick RCMP's Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU) conducted a traffic enforcement operation Greater Moncton area, as well as Richibucto, Shediac and Petitcodiac areas. 

The operation, which focused on identifying unsafe vehicles, resulted in a significant number of enforcement actions. A total of 47 tickets were issued for distracted driving, 45 for operating a vehicle without a valid inspection certificate, 33 for failing to wear a seatbelt, and 32 for speeding violations.

Thirty vehicles were towed, including two for lacking proper insurance and two for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h. Additionally, two individuals were issued court dates for driving while suspended, and one individual was arrested on outstanding warrants of arrest and committal.

"We’ve seen a troubling rise in distracted driving incidents, and this recent wave of enforcement actions reflects our commitment to keeping roads safe,” says Sgt. Ghislain David with the Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit. “Whether it’s texting behind the wheel, eating while driving, or adjusting your GPS, these seemingly small distractions can have devastating consequences."

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.
