We hear you. We've seen the videos of drivers running red lights, speeding, and illegally passing in the #Deltaport area. Our Traffic Section is responding with targeted enforcement and collaborating with government partners to improve road design for community safety. #DeltaPolice #DeltaTraffic #RoadSafety

Last December, #DeltaPolice removed 52 impaired drivers from our roads. πŸš” This contributes to a total of 639 impaired drivers identified in 2024 - more than 583 in 2022, and 598 in 2023. Help us combat #impaireddriving and choose a taxi, rideshare, transit, or designated driver.

Due to the Canada Post disruption, driver's licenses, insurance renewal reminders, and claims cheques won't be mailed. Instead you'll get a 90-day interim license. Check your policy expiry date & sign up for direct deposit to avoid claims payment delays ➑️ bit.ly/48SKf64

Yesterday, a jeep with oversized tires collided with a parked carβ€”a clear example of how modified vehicles can cause accidents. πŸš™ You may think they look cool, but illegal mods are contrary to Motor Vehicle Act Regulations. Illegally-modified vehicles can be removed from the road or returned to a legal condition.🚨 Let’s keep Delta’s roads safe and nuisance-free.

Your Friday afternoon commute will be impacted if you're planning on traveling Hwy 17 through Tilbury.
Collision involving a semi-truck at 80th St and Hwy 17. No injuries, but trucking is blocking ALL westbound lanes and one eastbound lane. Traffic in all directions is affected. Avoid the area. @DriveBC @CityNewsTraffic @TrishJewison
