All road users have a responsibility to follow the rules of the road to help keep everyone safe. That includes obeying traffic signs, especially stop signs. 🛑
Last week, a dump truck was observed driving through two stop signs without braking, then travelling approximately 60 km/h through a school zone. The vehicle was stopped, and officers determined the driver was also operating without active insurance. 👮🛻
Disregarding road rules and signage, including rolling through a stop sign or speeding in a school zone, puts motorists, pedestrians, and other road users at serious risk.
We all play a role in road safety.

On April 12, 2026, shortly after 9:00 p.m. Coquitlam RCMP received a report of a suspicious incident in the 1600 block of Como Lake Avenue in Coquitlam that occurred around 4:45 p.m. According to the complainant, an unknown man in a white Ford pick-up truck drove up to two youth and attempted to speak with them. The youths did not engage and left the area at which point the driver drove away.
“While nothing criminal of nature occurred during these incidents, the behaviour of this individual is unusual which is why we are issuing this warning”, says Sergeant Adriana O’Malley, Coquitlam RCMP Media Relations Officer, “While we continue to investigate these incidents, we want to remind the public of the importance of speaking with your kids about personal safety.”

Landsat 8 captured this image of the Welsh town on April 9, 2025. The long name is intentional—in the 1860s a resident pushed for it to promote tourism and give its train station the longest name in Britain.

Happy St. David's Day 🏴 Over 1400 years ago, at the time of St. David, a Welsh mother sang to her baby Dinogad. Her song was found written in the margin of the 7th century Welsh heroic poem Y Gododdin. The Welsh lullaby 'Dinogad's Smock' here played on viola da gamba #GwylDewi
