Traffic Safety

Lethbridge Police are advising the public of a motorcycle training exercise today that will be conducted in live traffic.

June is Commercial Vehicle month and police are reminding all drivers to do their part to share the road safely.

Lethbridge Police are inviting parents, guardians and anyone with young children, to attend a Car Seat Check Stop on Wednesday, May 29 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Toys R Us parking lot. 

With the arrival of warmer weather, more motorcycles are hitting the road and it's important for all drivers to be aware. 

Lethbridge Police, with assistance from Alberta Sheriffs, apprehended four impaired drivers and issued 69 tickets – mostly for equipment violations –  during a targeted traffic enforcement project that will continue throughout the summer.

The goal of the enforcement initiative is to provide safer roads for all users by targeting speeding, excessive vehicle noise, racing, stunting and other illegal behaviours in areas throughout the city where members of the public have reported concerns. Similar operations were conducted in 2022 and 2023 to help address the concerns and reduce violations.

The Lethbridge Police Service is reminding motorists to slow down, pay attention to the road and always obey the posted speed limit to help keep everyone safe.

Lethbridge Police, and other law enforcement agencies throughout the province, will be focusing on distracted driving throughout the month of February.
