ABBOTSFORD — Police in Abbotsford have had a busy few days on the road heading into the long weekend.

On Wednesday and Thursday, April 1 and 2, Traffic Enforcement Unit officers issued over 100 violation tickets across the city for the two-day speed enforcement blitz.

Frontline officers then removed nine impaired drivers from Abbotsford streets on Friday (Apr. 3) – for a total of 250 impaired drivers taken off the road over the past three months to date.

“Road safety remains a top priority for the Abbotsford Police Department,” said AbbyPD. “We urge all drivers to make responsible choices—never drive impaired, slow down, and watch for others on the road. If you suspect an impaired driver, call 911 immediately. Your actions can help keep our community safe.”

Police stopped five impaired drivers and issued 41 violation tickets during the previous weekend.
