Wellington Police will step up their road policing visibility, including increased compliance checkpoints and road patrols, as Wellingtonians settle into Alert Level 3.
?
Police have noticed a significant increase in traffic across the region since the move to Alert Level 3 at 11.59pm on 31 August.
?
Travel remains restricted at Alert Level 3 and is only allowed for permitted movement in your local area – for example, going to work or school if you need to, shopping, or getting exercise.
?
Over the coming days, Wellington Police will continue to be out and about across our region, conducting reassurance patrols and checkpoints to ensure compliance with Alert Level 3 restrictions.?
?
Compliance checkpoints will be undertaken at fixed locations on State Highways, as well as local roads where there have been high traffic volumes.?
?
Motorists can expect to be stopped and questioned about the purpose of their travel, and they will be turned around if their travel is not permitted under Alert Level 3.??
?
“We’ve been really pleased with compliance as a whole in Wellington District, since we went into Alert Level 4 in August,” says District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell.
?
“While we are fortunate to now be in Alert Level 3, it? is not the time to lose sight of our collective goal, which is to stamp out Covid.”
?
“We all know what we need to do and we all need to play our part – so please, stay in your bubble and continue to travel within your local area for permitted movement only.”?
