CASTANET:
A traffic enforcement blitz in the North Okanagan went very well over the weekend. RCMP patrolled the local Vernon roads from Okanagan Landing Road, 20th Street near Harwood School and in the Regional District out near the Christian School on Pleasant Valley Road.
During their shift they wrote:
16 speeding charges
Two speeding in school zone
One seatbelt charge
One ticket for open liquor in the vehicle.
Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says they also issued three speeding warnings and four warnings for speeding in a school zone. “They also assisted in a foot chase, and with the recovery of a stolen license plate on a vehicle. The officers will continue to assist the Vernon Detachment with traffic enforcement throughout the year, in efforts to make the roads safer for everyone using them,” says Molendyk. He says they want to remind all drivers that it is an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act not to yield for pedestrians that are crossing the street in the crosswalk. “It could result in a $167 fine. The police office has received several complaints from pedestrians about this offence.”
