Oceanside Community Safety's Traffic Watch performed six deployments in January and February, 2019 dedicated to the Cell Watch program. Of 1923 drivers observed, 325 were misbehaving.

Included in the data this month are results from our Intersection Watch program. The group wants to highlight the number of drivers who fail to come to a stop at stop signs. This monitoring information is passed along to the Oceanside RCMP, ICBC and you.
