Oceanside Community Safety

Do you ever wonder why some aspect of the highway that you are driving on has been designed that way?  It starts with the Transportation Association of Canada's Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads, is supplemented by the Geometric Design Guidelines for B.C. Roads, may require compromise due to local conditions and ends up being what you see through your windshield.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 242 complaints.

Lately I have noticed a number of drivers who have entered the intersection on the green traffic light intending to make a left turn and then backed up instead of turning once the light has changed to red. This sometimes happens with through traffic in an intersection as well. In either case, backing out of the intersection is unsafe and may be illegal.

The Nanoose Fire Department is looking for 3 or 4 applicants to fill out their firefighter recruiting intake for 2022. If you are interested in joining the department, please read their self assessment document to see if it is something that you are willing to commit to.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 213 complaints.

There were 103 traffic related complaints in the month of November. The following files involve the enforcement of drug or alcohol related driving offences.

In the past, if you were curious to find out about the traffic tickets issued by B.C. law enforcement officers you could either read a PDF document published by ICBC or make a request for specific information from their stored data. The trouble was, sometimes those information requests took a significant period of time to fill and you had to know how to manipulate the information once you had received it.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 221 complaints.  

No one likes to spend significant effort to clean the snow off of their driveway only to have the plow come by and fill in the highway end of it all over again. Most of us grumble and get to work, but an Errington man decided to stand in the way and prevent the grader from doing this to his driveway. In what almost became more ways than one, he didn't have a leg to stand on.
