RCMP Traffic Services Central conducted speed enforcement in Terra Nova National Park on April 16, 2024, resulting in a number of motorists charged with speeding violations in a short amount of time.
On Tuesday, RCMP Traffic Services Central set up in a 90 km/h speed zone in Terra Nova Park monitoring traffic for speeding violations. During an approximate two-and-a-half-hour period, nine motorists were stopped and ticketed for speeds that were in excess of 30 km/h above the posted limit.
Motorists who speed place themselves and all others who share the roadway at an increased level of risk. Traveling at increased speeds shortens a driver’s reaction time and increases the level of force or impact during a collision or crash.
RCMP Traffic Services Central remains dedicated to road safety. Please report incidents of dangerous driving, including high speeds, to your local police.
