The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Alberta have issued a warning regarding a concerning increase in traffic-related fatalities across the province. As of August 31, the RCMP reported a total of 192 traffic deaths on the roads they patrol. This marks a significant uptick from the 144 fatalities recorded during the same time frame in the previous year, 2022. If this trend continues, Alberta is on pace to experience the highest number of traffic-related fatalities since 2015. In light of this alarming situation, law enforcement officials are urging drivers throughout southern Alberta to slow down and maintain focus while driving. Authorities emphasize the importance of road safety measures to prevent further loss of life as the province approaches the end of summer, a period that often sees increased travel and road use.
