Halton Police urge Motorists to Hang up and Buckle up
In October 2009 Ontario introduced a ban on the use of hand held communication devices while operating a motor vehicle. Police issued warnings for a period of three months in efforts to educate the public and to encourage drivers to break the habit of using a hand held device while driving. Effective February 1, 2010 officers throughout the Province began issuing Distracted Driving Provincial Offence Notices. However, even though the law has been in effect for well over a year, the number of drivers who still violate this legislation is unacceptable.

Excessive Speed along Lakeshore Road East
Excessive traffic speed along Lakeshore Road East, in the region from Winston Churchill to Ford Drive has been an issue of great concern for many years. Local residents have brought it to the attention of the Town of Oakville. This is of particular concern as it is in the location of a school where young children need to cross Lakeshore Road. As a result, speed studies were conducted in 2008 and 2010. On both occasions, a substantial percentage of traffic was traveling at speeds far in excess of the posted maximum of 50km/h.
