RCMP “B” Division Traffic Services – St. John’s, NL

RCMP Traffic Services East

Situated at 152 Torbay Road, the RCMP Traffic Services office plays a pivotal role in road safety across the Avalon Peninsula. This specialized unit is dedicated to enforcing the Highway Traffic Act and reducing serious injuries on the province’s highways 🛣️. While local detachments handle general policing, Traffic Services focuses specifically on collision reconstruction, impaired driving enforcement, and commercial vehicle regulation.

Core Responsibilities and Patrols

Officers from this unit are frequently seen patrolling the Trans-Canada Highway and major arterial routes. Their mandate includes:

• Collision Reconstruction: Using advanced technology to investigate fatal and serious injury crashes to determine cause and liability.
• Impaired Driving Enforcement: Conducting RIDE checks and utilizing breathalyzer technology to remove alcohol and drug-impaired drivers from the road 🛑.
• Speed Enforcement: Targeted campaigns using radar and laser technology to curb excessive speeding in high-risk zones.
• Public Education: Delivering safety presentations to schools and community groups about seatbelt use and distracted driving.

Public Interaction

This location serves as an administrative base for traffic members. It is not a primary reporting centre for general crimes. Members of the public typically visit this office to speak with an investigator regarding a specific traffic accident or to retrieve documents related to a collision 📝. If you need to report a non-emergency crime or require a criminal record check, please contact your local detachment instead. The building is equipped with visitor parking, but access to the interior offices is controlled for security.
