For the most part, citizens travelling the roads of Alberta
often don't involve an interaction with a member of Enforcement
Services. With that said, in Alberta, our roads are patrolled by
several different organizations which include, but are not limited
to, Municipal Enforcement, the Alberta Sheriffs, the RCMP, and
Department of Transportation officers. For commercial carriers and
their drivers in Alberta, an interaction with these enforcement
agencies are often a daily occurrence. The risks for commercial
carriers often exceed those of a typical patron of our highways and
streets. Therefore, the requirements for commercial carriers to
drive on our roads exceeds that of a normal citizen and the Traffic Safety Act. Commercial Carriers must
also meet a national standard of management and performance
requirements supported by provincial regulations known as the National Safety Code.
