City Police have been stepping up their efforts to deal with traffic hot spots and construction zone speeding. Sgt. Jeff LaFrance says the number of tickets for violations rose from about 25 hundred in 2007 to more than 38 hundred in 2008--and--they expect to top that number this year.
Sgt. LaFrance says they have been concentrating on Highway One where construction is taking place by the Rockwood Park Off-ramp. He says workers have been very appreciative because of safety concerns posed by speeders. Chief Bill Reid says fines have doubled for speeding in construction and school zones, but they cannot enforce that until signs have been posted--something he wants done within one year.
