Roll Call Car Show – July 15, 2023 – Special Traffic Campaign
The Saint John Police will conducted a city-wide special traffic campaign during the Roll Call Car Show being held at TD Station on July 15, 2023. The one-day event drew thousands of spectators and hundreds of participants from across the Maritimes.
Through education and zero-tolerance enforcement, officers from the Saint John Police, Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, and New Brunswick Justice and Public Safety targeted offences under the Criminal Code of Canada and provincial legislation using the following approaches:
- Traffic entering and exiting the venue will be controlled;
- City-wide zero-tolerance patrols;
- Checkpoints with a focus on impaired driving
The Saint John Police were pleased to report that this year’s event did not result in any serious injuries. As a result of the campaign, a total of 7,303 vehicles came through various checkpoints:
- 150 vehicles were visually inspected
- 49 vehicles will need to be certified by an engineer to be re-registered
- 23 vehicles were towed
- 81 motor vehicle violations and 45 warnings were issued
The Saint John Police would like to thank the event organizers and the public for their patience. We would also like to thank the Department of Justice and Public Safety and Kennebecasis Regional Police Force for ensuring that this year’s event was safe for everyone.
