FYI

🚨 195 km/h. Heavy traffic. No excuse.🚨
While merging onto Highway 2 southbound from Highway 2A, an officer observed a vehicle traveling at an estimated 150 km/h. As the officer moved to catch up, the vehicle accelerated to 178 km/h, where the speed was confirmed by radar. The vehicle continued to increase speed, reaching a maximum of 195 km/h in heavy traffic.
Excessive speed significantly increases the risk of serious collisions, especially when traffic volumes are high and reaction times are reduced.
The driver was issued:
✅ A summons to court for the speed-related offence
✅ A $243 fine for failing to produce a valid certificate of registration
At speeds like these, there is little room for error and the consequences can be devastating. Speed limits are in place to protect everyone on the road.
🚔 Slow down. Make safe choices. Get home safely.

Spoof, there it is!

Caller ID spoofing is a popular way scammers target victims over the phone. Your phone, if enabled with call display, will typically indicate the phone number and name associated with the number calling you. Caller ID spoofing is the act of altering the number displayed on the phone receiving the call. Though this can be used for legitimate and illegitimate purposes, the have noticed several of our fraud-related complaints include some sort of caller ID spoofing. To protect yourself from spoofed calls, you can:

📞 ask your phone provider to turn on call control to mitigate the amount of robo-calls you receive
📞 if you aren’t sure who you are talking to, hang up and call the organization/company/person back for verification
📞 never provide financial or sensitive information over the phone, even if it appears to be a call from a legitimate organization
📞 contact your local police if you feel your identity information may be compromised

Reminder...

🚴‍♂️🌾 Riding in Groups on Rural Roads? Know the Rules

Group rides are common in Foothills County—but rural roads often have narrow shoulders and limited space.

✅ Ride single file when traffic requires it
✅ Keep as far right as practicable when safe
✅ Maintain spacing and avoid blocking traffic lanes
✅ Communicate hazards clearly with riders around you

Riding side by side or unpredictably can create dangerous situations for both cyclists and drivers.

🚓 Cyclists are required to follow the rules of the road—failure to do so may result in enforcement action.

Ride smart, stay aware, and respect all road users.
