Cape Breton Regional Police Chief Robert Walsh: "Contact us if you know or see it happening." IAN NATHANSON/CAPE BRETON POSTNew spot for Mediterranean cuisine opens in Charlottetown | SaltWireSYDNEY, N.S. — A souped-up need for speed among some late-night motorists is turning into a growing concern for residents, say several Cape Breton Regional Municipality councillors and police.

“I’m contacted daily with residents expressing their concern, their stress, their anger over street racing … in particular, their stunting, excessive vehicle noise and aggressive driving,” MacMullin said at the time. Excessive speeding and vehicle noise, possible penalties, traffic technology and perhaps traffic calming, all related to MacMullin’s concerns, were tackled during Monday’s board of police commissioners meeting at city hall.

“In the interim, we will continue to conduct enforcement,” Walsh said, adding that a similar kind of enforcement will be applied targeting drivers whose vehicles exhibit loud mufflers that are considered after-market. Currently, various locations within the CBRM have speed monitoring signs set up which collect data as well as show how fast motorists are driving.
