Police remind drivers that using devices while driving is not only dangerous, but it can also result in a $390 fine.

Thirteen of the charges noted above were due to infractions within a construction zone.

Construction zone safety tips:

• Obey all posted speed limits and signage, as reduced speeds are in place to protect workers and drivers.
• Watch for workers, equipment and sudden changes in traffic flow, including lane shifts or closures.
• Follow directions from flag persons and temporary traffic signals at all times.
• Maintain a safe following distance to allow for unexpected stops or slow-moving traffic.
• Avoid distractions and remain fully focused while travelling through work zones.
