Bacica and his fellow Capital Regional District IRSU officers are conducting increased enforcement at intersections throughout Greater Victoria until the new year.

“We’re going to be targeting intersections with different types of enforcement techniques,” said IRSU Const. Rob Figueiredo. “We’re there to reduce crashes and injuries, but we’re also watching for any bad driving behaviours. … We’re not going to let anything slip by.”

The regional unit will be stepping up its watch at five intersections in Greater Victoria deemed the most dangerous.
