The
Saint John Police Force will be working with City of Saint John Municipal
Operations and Engineering to keep an eye on construction sites this summer.
For
eight weeks beginning July 18, the Saint John Police Force will be assisting
Municipal Operations crews in monitoring work zones around the city. As crews
make the best of the good weather to finish construction projects, motorists
can expect delays and detours around the City. For the safety of the workers in
those construction zones, construction signage and markers (including traffic
cones) are used to move traffic away from the site of the work. Motorists
should proceed with caution through construction sites and obey the directions
of any flaggers directing traffic.
Saint
John Police will be assisting at high-risk sites throughout the summer. Tickets
may be issued for violations relating to construction zone safety.
The
City of Saint John reminds citizens to be aware of the City workers on the
streets this summer and to proceed with caution for their own safety, as well
as the safety of our workers.
For
more information, please contact Municipal Operations at 658-4455.
