Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson advised that motorists should be careful to observe all posted speed limits and traffic signals.
“Speed limits are clearly marked throughout town,” the chief advised, “and my officers are on the alert for all traffic violations.”
Chief Robinson would also like to remind motorists that it is against the law to consume alcoholic beverages while driving or to have opened alcoholic beverages in your vehicle.
“Not only is it against the law to drink while driving, but it also puts lives in danger,” he said. “So please be responsible.”
