Today marks the beginning of Canada Road Safety Week, a 7-day national campaign aimed at making Canada’s roads the safest in the world.
With what we have seen take place earlier this week in York, the importance of this message has never been more obvious. Our heart breaks for our neighbouring community.
Auto accident consequences include criminal charges, fines, suspensions, or vehicle impoundment.
This annual awareness campaign is designed to increase public compliance with safe driving measures in order to save lives and reduce injuries. The focus of this campaign continues to be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users at risk: impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, and not wearing a seat belt.
Unsafe driving behaviors come with increased risk of injury or death. Other consequences include criminal charges, fines, suspensions, or vehicle impoundment.
There is no excuse to justify unsafe driving behaviour. It is simply #NotWorthTheRisk.
We want Halton residents and all Canadians to remember the decisions they make and the consequences of their actions impact everyone on or near our roadways.
The Halton Regional Police Service thanks those in our community who recognize that they share the roads with others.
Often takes months to recover accidents like this.
Whether you are a motorcyclist, a pedestrian, a driver, or a cyclist, remember… road safety starts with YOU.
The Halton Regional Police Service is proud to be participating in this year’s Canada Road Safety Campaign. While this public safety initiative is part of a national effort to help make Canada’s roads the safest in the world, we are confident that our local efforts will help make the roads here in Halton among the safest in Canada.
