Traffic enforcement project targets high-risk driving, vehicle noise and other illegal behaviours

Lethbridge Police have initiated an annual traffic enforcement project that will be ongoing throughout the summer to target speeding, excessive vehicle noise, racing, stunting and other illegal behaviours in areas across the city where members of the public have reported concerns.

During the first day of the initiative for 2025, police apprehended one impaired driver, one suspended driver and issued 46 violation tickets.  

The project was first launched in 2022 and has taken place during the summer months each year since then in an effort to address high-risk and nuisance driving behaviours. Citizen complaints of excessive vehicle noise, racing and stunting increase when the weather warms up and police are warning drivers there will be zero tolerance.

Targeted enforcement under the Traffic Safety Act and Vehicle Equipment Regulations will result in tickets. Any repeat offenders who have not remedied previously identified and enforced equipment violations, may be subject to a seizure of their license plate and vehicle registration. They may also have their vehicle towed and be required to complete mandatory repairs under Section 66 of the Traffic Safety Act before the vehicle will be permitted back on the road and their license plate and registration returned. 

Members of the Traffic Response Unit will provide a highly visible police presence during these targeted projects to deter illegal driving activity and conduct enforcement. This initiative is over and above traffic enforcement that is conducted daily by TRU members and other patrol officers. 

The public can help by continuing to report violations and chronic, high-risk driving behaviour whenever and wherever it is observed. Call 403-328-4444. Public complaints and analysis of traffic data, help guide police deployment and enforcement efforts.
