Traffic Enforcement, Community Safety

The City of Leduc prioritizes traffic safety through a collaborative partnership between Leduc Enforcement Services and the Leduc RCMP.

Together, they implement proactive traffic safety programs aimed at reducing collisions and ensuring safer roads for residents and visitors.

These initiatives focus on strategic enforcement, public education, and community engagement, addressing key issues such as speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving. By working closely with the community and monitoring traffic trends, the program strives to promote responsible driving behaviour and enhance road safety throughout the city and surrounding areas.

Traffic Safety Initiative

The City of Leduc’s traffic safety initiative incorporates a range of programs to promote safer roads for all users. Speed awareness signs are strategically placed to remind drivers to monitor their speed and comply with limits.

The city also offers child seat safety checks in partnership with Alberta Health Services, ensuring that young passengers are properly secured. Bicycle safety clinics provide education on safe riding practices and helmet use.

Project REV’N was initiated in July 2022 and is intended to address vehicle speed and noise pollution created by vehicles with modified and/or excessively loud exhaust systems.

Routine patrols by Leduc Enforcement Services and the RCMP focus on identifying and addressing traffic violations such as stop sign infractions, speeding, and distracted driving.

Roundabouts

Roundabouts are becoming more common because they are efficient and offer more safety benefits due to the slower speeds and reduced points of impact. Instead of an intersection controlled by traffic lights or stop signs, roundabouts use a circular layout that encourages a continuous flow of traffic.

Distracted Driving

Alberta’s distracted driving law applies to all vehicles as defined by the Traffic Safety Act and all roads in Alberta.

Put phones out of reach when driving
Make sure children are comfortable and buckled up before leaving
Know their itinerary and program their GPS before leaving
Refrain from using handheld electronic devices for talking, texting, or emailing
Refrain from combing their hair, shaving, or applying make-up
