RCMP NL reminds motorists as the summer season approaches to expect increased traffic along roadways throughout the province, much of which will be comprised of tourists who may be unfamiliar with the area. Motorists are expected to travel within the posted speed limit and can expect that RCMP NL will be on patrol, checking for violations.
Roadway safety is everyone's responsibility. Those who travel at excessive speeds, while impaired or otherwise in a dangerous manner, place themselves as well as all others who share the roadway at increased risk of serious injury or death. Please immediately report these incidents to your local police detachment or call 911.
