What is SafeRoads Alberta?
SafeRoads Alberta… is a provincial administrative system introduced in December 2020.
It was set up to provide a more efficient method of resolving traffic disputes under the province’s impaired driving enforcement program. It’s faster than going through lengthy court processes and relieves the burden on police time and the traffic court system.
Through the SafeRoads Alberta regulation, police officers can immediately impose licence suspensions, vehicle seizures, and fines under the Immediate Roadside Sanction program. However, severe or repeat offences may still lead to criminal charges. In those cases there’s no escaping the criminal justice system.
How does SafeRoads Alberta work?
SafeRoads Alberta operates as a centralized platform for individuals to manage their penalties efficiently. This streamlined process requires careful adherence to timelines and procedures.
Through SafeRoads Alberta you can:
Pay fines or request additional time to pay
