Anyone know why there are a couple of Police SUVs parked with their lights on at 1st / Rosser and 1st/Lorne. Speed control??

My guess would be a speed check since it is near a construction zone.

If police were running radar, they wouldn't have their lights flashing while doing so. The police were likely looking for someone or attending a call.

There was no sign of an accident at all. Just two police SUV's sitting in the turning lanes with thier becons on 3 blocks apart on 1st St? Nobody directing traffic and cars confusingly proceeding past then at 7:45 in the morning??
