The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) continues its efforts to improve road safety and enforce traffic regulations.
On March 28, 2025, officers of the Traffic Department, led by Superintendent Bradshaw and Sergeant Henry, conducted multiple Vehicular Checkpoints (VCPs) at key locations across Basseterre. These operations resulted in the issuance of seventy-four (74) traffic tickets for various violations and the impoundment of two (2) vehicles.
The checkpoints were carried out at Johnson Long Path, Wellington Road, and the Island Main Road, where the following offences were recorded:
• Exceeding the speed limit – 40 tickets
• Driving without a seatbelt – 1 ticket
• Failing to comply with a traffic sign (No Right Turn) – 1 ticket
• Driving at night with only one operational headlamp – 13 tickets
• Driving with dark tinted windows – 6 tickets
• Driving with a dark tinted windscreen – 3 tickets
• Driving with a child not secured by a seatbelt – 2 tickets
• Failing to produce a driver’s license immediately – 1 ticket
• Driving with unauthorized lights – 7 tickets
Additionally, Akeem Deshon Williams of Sandy Point was arrested for:
• Driving motor vehicle P 1726 without insurance

A separate checkpoint was conducted at Conaree, near the bus stand, between 12:30 p.m. and 1:20 p.m. During this operation, seven (7) motorists were issued tickets for exceeding the speed limit.
The RSCNPF reminds all motorists of their responsibility to adhere to the road traffic laws to ensure the safety of all road users. Speeding, failure to use seatbelts, unauthorized modifications to vehicles, and non-compliance with traffic signs pose serious risks to public safety and will not be tolerated. Law enforcement will continue to conduct routine checkpoints and enforce penalties to deter reckless driving and promote safer roads.
The public is urged to exercise caution, comply with the laws, and respect the regulations set out to protect lives. The RSCNPF remains committed to road safety and thanks all law-abiding motorists for their cooperation.
