The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition partner enforcement officers participated in another “Safe on Seven” traffic safety campaign from Nov. 21-24.
The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition members that participated in the Safe on Seven campaign were, the Ministry of Transportation, Belleville City Police, Quinte West OPP, Madoc OPP, L&A OPP, and Frontenac OPP. The aim was to target moving traffic violations, unfit vehicles, and Commercial Motor Vehicles along the stretch of Hwy 7 from Hastings County to Lennox & Addington County to Frontenac County.
Although moving violations were the focus of the campaign, police officers were highly visible and paying specific attention to the “The Big 4” which, in terms of personal injury collision causation are impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, and lack of occupant restraint.
The OPP remains committed to traffic safety and the safety of all road users. The OPP urges drivers to work together and make the roadways the safest in Canada.
The following are the results from the Nov. 21-24 Save on Seven traffic safety campaign:
One Stunt Drive charge (157km/h in posted 80km/h)
Thirty-seven speeding xhRGES
