St Stephen Citizen's On Patrol members are going to be again conducting speed monitoring in St Stephen and surrounding area.
The RCMP will be providing the volunteer group use of the RCMP portable roadside system which displays the speed of approaching vehicles along with messages.
This unit will be used as a prevention tool, as opposed to enforcement, which will be first placed near our local St Stephen and area schools zones. It will be a friendly reminder to tell drivers to pay closer attention to what speed they are driving. As seen last year, we should see an increase in voluntary compliance near school areas where youth may be present and the first location will be the St Stephen High School.
The unit will later rotate around various areas where speeding is an issue. This would be another example of the value of the Citizens on Patrol Program and the citizens who have committed themselves to it.
