Officials with the Alberta government say the Sheriff Highway Patrol is increasing commercial vehicle inspections during Roadcheck, a three-day safety campaign being held across North America.
From May 17-19, sheriffs will conduct hundreds of additional inspections throughout the province to ensure commercial vehicles and their drivers are operating safely on Alberta’s highways.
Roadcheck is an annual operation carried out by agencies that belong to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance in Canada, the United States and Mexico. Officers from participating organizations share information with commercial drivers, check vehicles and drivers for compliance with federal and provincial regulations, and collect inspection data for statistical analysis.
“Commercial vehicle enforcement helps keep everyone on Alberta’s highways safe and protects our economy by keeping goods and services flowing to their destination. The Alberta Sheriffs play a vital role in ensuring that commercial vehicles and their drivers comply with safety standards on our provincial highways,” said Tyler Shandro, Minister of Justice and Solicitor General, in a press release Tuesday.
