The Halton Regional Police Service has provided the results for Project Safe Start.
The campaign ran from Monday, September 7th to Friday, September 18th. Its goal was to limit aggressive and dangerous driving in school areas.
Speeding and failing to stop at stop signs were the top offences:
- Speeding (accounting for 64% of total tickets and warnings issued)
- Disobey stop sign – fail to stop (accounting for 18% of total tickets and warnings issued)
- Four impaired driving charges laid during school hours
Officers issued 2,735 Provincial Offence Notices and 803 warnings. This compares to 4,178 Provincial Offence Notices and 379 warnings issued during Project Safe Start in 2019.
“Annually, Project Safe Start serves as a timely opportunity for ‘recalibration’ of driver behavior to address any poor driving habits developed over the summer months,” says Sergeant Ryan Snow, Traffic Services Unit. “Through education and enforcement, our goal is to ensure that all road users arrive at their destinations safely.”
