Prince George RCMP handed out 190 violations during a month-long campaign focused on bicycle and motorcycle safety.
During April, the detachment's municipal traffic services section kept an extra-close eye on drivers who did not show respect for these types of road users, and cyclists and riders who put themselves in harm's way.
At 96, violations for failing to wear a helmet while cycling led the way. One bicycle helmet violation was also issued to the guardian of a youth and one helmet violation was issued to a motorcycle rider.
As well, 50 violations were issued to cyclists for riding on sidewalks and one was issued for careless cycling. A further 29 wee issued for other cycling-related offences.
Additionally, six were issued to drivers for driving without due care and consideration and two for failing to signal.
And four were issued to pedestrians for jaywalking.
"As a motorist, it's your responsibility to follow the rules of the road and be courteous to all types of road users" said Sgt. Matthew LaBelle. "As a cyclist or pedestrian, it's even more important to follow the rules of the road, as you lack the protection required if a collision happens."
