Speed and Traffic Watch


Working together WITH the community Speed and Traffic Watch volunteers monitor motorists' behaviours in New Westminster neighbourhoods. Directed and supported by the New Westminster Police and ICBC, this program benefits drivers, residents, and the police by reminding citizens to drive responsibly, especially in areas where there may exist greater risk for collision and subsequent injury.

While monitoring traffic conditions, volunteers make observations about traffic volumes and traffic offences that are committed by vehicles within our city limits. Statistics gathered influence traffic enforcement within New Westminster. Using RADAR equipment and an electronic signs for instant feedback, drivers are made aware of their speed as they travel neighbourhood streets. We help to address specific traffic problems through:

  • Increased Police Enforcement
  • Public Awareness
  • Education and Neighbourhood Action

Speed and Traffic Watch volunteers are well-supported by the New Westminster Police Traffic Division.

Benefits of becoming a speed and traffic watch member:

  • Work closely with traffic members
  • Develop your knowledge and skills in the use or radar and traffic monitoring equipment
  • Knowledge about traffic enforcement problems and engineering
