Truckers and their rigs have been under close scrutiny this week, as provincial law enforcement agencies have teamed up for Roadcheck 2012, a 72 hour check stop aimed at keeping unsafe rigs off Alberta highways.
The Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Jonathan Denis says this campaign has an immediate and significant impact on the safety of our provincial highways. He adds, it also encourages safe driving behaviour and practices on the part of commercial vehicle drivers is one of the keys to road safety.
This year, the inspections focused on brake system maintenance, drivers’ activity log books, vehicle weight and dimension restrictions.
Roadcheck 2012 marks the 25th year the Alberta government has conducted these focused roadside inspections.
Enforcement officers are focused on commercial vehicle safety for the month of June as part of the Traffic Safety Plan enforcement calendar.
