EPS kicks off annual Project TENSOR traffic initiative for 2025
Edmonton drivers better keep an eye on the speed limit, because city police have launched their annual Project TENSOR (traffic enforcement noise/speed offence reductions) traffic initiative for summer 2025.
Edmonton Police Service (EPS) said in a Friday news release that Project TENSOR targets drivers violating up to 10 different types of offences, including speeding, causing noise disturbances, not wearing a seatbelt, and driving a motorcycle without a helmet.
'Traffic issues, especially noise and speeding, continue to generate the bulk of the complaints received by traffic section from the general public,' said Sgt. Kerry Bates with the EPS traffic safety unit.
'We certainly understand the public's frustration with these issues and developed Project TENSOR as an ongoing initiative to address these concerns through enforcement and education.'
EPS deployed the first wave of enforcement on May 23, which resulted in 169 violations, including 21 hazardous movement violations, 27 speeding violations, and 73 non-hazardous violations such as driving in a bus lane.
