Roadside prohibitions handed out on Steinbach’s Main Street

RCMP continued their enforcement on Steinbach’s Main Street, handing out large fines and in two cases, roadside prohibitions.

Both prohibitions took place on May 2, at 10:19 p.m. and 11:13 p.m. respectively.

The first was to a 20-year-old male from Menisino who was given the penalty for excessive noise.

The second was handed to a 34-year-old male from Steinbach at the corner of Main Street and Reimer Avenue for proceeding through a red light.

Both men had their vehicles impounded for 30 days, driver’s licences suspended for 90 days and face an administrative penalty of $700.

RCMP also issued eight tickets written under the Highway Traffic Act including three for unnecessary noise (for loud vehicles) and a speeding infraction where they clocked a driver going 97 km/h in the 50 km/h zone. That driver faces a $665 fine.
