The catch was a good one Thursday for police officers looking for drivers breaking the law.
The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition conducted what was called a “Safe on ’62” campaign and laid a total of 76 Highway Traffic Charges, most for speeding.
Prince Edward County OPP Detachment Commander Staff Sergeant John Hatch said one driver said he’d seen four OPP cruisers on Highway 62 but continued to drive above the speed limit, eventually getting a ticket.
“There’s still some work to do, there’s still people that just don’t get the idea that they have to follow the speed limit.”
The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition is a partnership of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Belleville Police Service, Military and CN police, Tyendinaga Police Service, OPP SAVE Team, East Region Highway Safety Division and the Bancroft, Central Hastings, Lennox and Addington, Prince Edward County and Quinte West OPP Detachments.
