Law enforcement east of Edmonton says numerous high speeds were recorded during an operation last week, including one driver going over 80 km\/h over the posted speed limit.<\/p>\n
Last week, Strathcona County Community Peace Officers carried out a strategic traffic operation along Highway 216 and Highway 14, and netted some alarming speeds.<\/p>\n
In a post to the county\u2019s Facebook page<\/a>, it was revealed that among the highest speeds recorded were:<\/p>\n 192 km\/h in a 110 km\/h zone \u201cThese speeds are not just a little fast. They are dangerous choices that put every driver, passenger, and roadside worker at risk. When a vehicle is going this fast, it takes longer to stop, drivers have almost no time to react and the risk of a serious collision goes up.<\/p>\n Please slow down. Posted speed limits are there to keep everyone safe. Getting home safely matters far more than saving a few minutes on the road,\u201d officers added.<\/p>\n Last month, a driver was clocked going nearly 100 km\/h over the speed limit in Calgary<\/a>, while last summer, a driver was clocked going more than 200 km\/h<\/a> on a rural Alberta highway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Law enforcement east of Edmonton says numerous high speeds were recorded during an operation last week, including one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":["post-588941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-edmonton","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-edmonton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=588941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=588941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
