Speeders beware

Watch your speedometer.

Codiac RCMP says Mounties will be paying special attention to speeding in residential areas in Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview. They often get calls about speeders especially in areas where children gather…playgrounds and schools. So they will be concentrating on those areas. The fine for speeding is  $172 or more.
