Edmonton Police Register 695 Traffic Violations Under Operation 24 Hours

Edmonton Police and the City of Edmonton registered 695 traffic violations on May 15 under Operation 24 Hours. Police say 195 of those were speeding violations.

There were also 83 red light violations, 152 document violations, 111 dangerous violations, five reckless driving violations and six criminal code violations.

According to Sergeant Carrie Bett, the number is down from last year, given the changes in the way automated traffic enforcement is implemented.

ATEs are still present at playgrounds, construction sites and some red lights. Police say they are identifying areas with violations and are working to strengthen traffic safety.
