ABBOTSFORD – Police in Abbotsford say they’ve issued over 900 tickets to motorists during targeted enforcement operations in and around Highway 1 construction zones in the Abbotsford area over a four-month period.

According to a statement from police, the Abbotsford PD’s Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) conducted targeted enforcement between July and October 2026 as part of an enforcement initiative funded by the Ministry of Transportation and Transit. Police focused on areas impacted by the ongoing Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Project, encompassing the highway corridor and nearby roadways.

“The goal was simple: ensure the safety of those working in active construction zones and encourage safe driving behaviours,” AbbyPD said.

During the four-month initiative, TEU officers dedicated 80 operational shifts to construction zone enforcement. As a result, officers issued 944 violation tickets, representing approximately $170,000 in fines for a variety of traffic infractions.
