Surrey Mounties are lighting up King George Boulevard this month in an effort to reduce the number of crashes along the busy corridor.
Officers with Surrey RCMP Traffic Services and the Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit (IRSU) will conduct multiple enforcement projects, targeting aggressive, distracted and impaired drivers, along with pedestrian infractions.
“We hope this increased vigilance of drivers and pedestrians alike will assist us in reducing the number of collisions on this busy strip of roadway,” Sgt. Gary Clarke said in a May 2 statement. “The warmer weather and longer days usually see a rise in accidents, so we are taking a pro-active approach in order to remind all drivers and pedestrians to be extra careful.”
Last year in May, police responded to 33 collisions on the thoroughfare, some involving serious injuries.
