OPP STEPPING UP
ENFORCEMENT for UPCOMING LABOUR DAY Weekend ( To this effect, OPP officers will be out in full force
patrolling “We are asking everyone to join our efforts by
acting responsibly while out enjoying the roads and waterways this upcoming
holiday long-weekend” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. “The OPP will continue to demonstrate
our commitment to safe communities by being out in full force and targeting
those who put others safety at risk”. Numerous lives have been lost on our roadways and
waterways this summer. So far this
year, 205 people have died in traffic related fatalities in Marine fatalities are down in 2010 to 17 to date as
compared to “The increase in the number of fatalities from last
year causes the OPP great concern” said Deputy Commissioner Larry
Beechey, Provincial Commander responsible for OPP Traffic Safety
Programs. “This is not
acceptable and our stepped up patrols across the province will be addressing
this issue by targeting the aggressive driving and boating behaviours that
put the lives and safety of innocent people at risk.” The OPP is calling on all motorists and boaters to keep
safety as a priority this long weekend.
Slow down and be respectful of others. Leave some extra time to get to your destination
and keep extra space between you and other vehicles or vessels. Let’s work together to make this
final weekend of summer a safe one. - 30 - Contacts by OPP Region: Highway Safety Division: Sergeant

N0A 1E0 STRICT IS FAIR CONTINUES ( As a result of the initiative, officers issued 74 charges for
a variety of traffic related offences, with the majority being for speeding. “Of
note is that community support has been very positive with officers receiving
encouraging comments in response to this traffic safety initiative. The program will continue through the month
of September based upon the enforcement experience seen to date. The consequences of aggressive or
distracted driving affect us all, so I again encourage families to have
serious family discussion about safe driving, what it is and its
importance. The alternative of not
proactively addressing and adhering to safe driving practices can be tragic.”
says Inspector John Periversoff, He
continues to say, “Demonstrate road sense, travel at the speed limit,
use the safety equipment provided in your vehicle and don't use cell phones
while driving unless you have a hands free device. Remember that collisions don't just happen,
they are caused!” - 30 - Contact:

N0A 1E0 STRICT IS FAIR CONTINUES ( As part of the ongoing program, a R.A.D.A.R. messaging board
will be utilized across the County over the next couple of weeks, to bring
drivers attention to their speed. In today’s fast paced society,
quiet often drivers are concentrating on what they have to do instead of
concentrating on what they are doing “DRIVING”. The messaging board is a reminder to check your
speed. It will be displayed at a variety of locations across the County
primarily where complaints of speeding have occurred. “Please do your part in keeping our road safe.
Concentrate on driving and obey the speed limit. By doing your part, our
County will be a safer place to live, work and play.” Comments Staff
