(CMR) In response to road safety concerns during peak hour commuter traffic passing through the Bodden Town district, the RCIPS Traffic Unit conducted an operation on Wednesday morning, 6 December, in the vicinity of Beach Bay.
The operation resulted in thirteen (13) persons being prosecuted for traffic offenses, including the offense of Inconsiderate Driving.
“The community can expect to see more targeted traffic operations of this nature as we lead into our annual holiday safety campaign, ‘Winter Guardian', which launches this Friday, 8 December”, said Superintendent Richard Barrow, Commander of the Eastern Districts & Sisters Islands.
“We want to remind drivers that the roadways are shared spaces. Your driving behavior has a direct impact on other road users. If we all practice safe driving behavior every time we get behind the wheel, such as not speeding, putting our phones down, and obeying the road rules, we would drastically reduce incidents on our roads,” Barrow added.
