Provincial Highway Enforcement Officers throughout Newfoundland and Labrador will be participating with law enforcement agencies in the International Roadcheck Initiative from May 14-16.

International Roadcheck is an annual regulatory compliance enforcement initiative that takes place over three days in Canada, Mexico and the United States. It is a high-visibility, high-volume inspection and enforcement event, where Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) certified inspectors conduct compliance, enforcement and educational initiatives targeted at various elements of motor carrier, vehicle and driver safety.

This year, International Roadcheck will focus on tractor protection systems and alcohol and controlled substances.

International Road Check is the largest targeted enforcement program for commercial motor vehicles in the world. Across North America, on average, nearly 15 trucks and motorcoaches will be inspected every minute during a 72-hour period.

Since its inception in 1988, more than 1.8 million roadside inspections have been conducted during International Roadcheck, providing an opportunity to educate industry and the general public about the importance of safe commercial motor vehicle operations and the roadside inspection program.

More information about the 2024 International Roadcheck Initiative is available on the CVSA website.

Results will be published on the CVSA website here.
