Area residents have been complaining about fast and reckless cycling on our pathways and roads.

Police have listened and more than 3,000 tickets have been issued to road users as part of a week of action and engagement.
Police say the tickets were issued from July 13 to July 19 as part of a 2020 Road Safety Campaign Geared to Cyclists.

Officers also took the time to educate cyclists on collision-causing behaviours, as well as taking enforcement action.
The campaign focused on “The Big 4” behaviours that are known to cause injuries to people using our roads and identified drivers who were speeding, driving aggressively, driving while distracted and driving while impaired.
Police say 1,950 tickets were issued for speeding; 927 for aggressive cycling, 92 for handheld and 38 for other offences.

Officers laid ten stunt driving-related infractions where the drivers received a suspension and their vehicles were impounded. A total of 19 impaired-related arrests were also made.
Sergeant Jason Kraft thanked all those who helped spread the traffic safety messages.
Police say the campaign was part of Toronto’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan to curb collisions are preventable and unacceptable. Zero injuries and deaths on our roads is the number that we all should be working towards.
