The RCMP wants the public to know that the Central Okanagan Traffic Services (COTS) is working hard to “set the tone” with respect to speeding as it pertains to Road Safety in the Central Okanagan.
COTS is also cognizant of the areas, within the city, that are experiencing problems and have been the subject of recent complaints and are responding accordingly. For example, Clifton, High and Glenmore Rds were targeted recently, and traffic members also concentrate on problem areas within School Zones during the week.
