​South Bruce OPP prepare for Operation Safe Driver campaign

(SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY, ON) - Members of the South Bruce OPP are preparing for the annual province-wide traffic safety initiative, "Operation Safe Driver," which runs July 13-19.

In conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), South Bruce OPP officers will be patrolling local roadways to promote safe driving practices that impact commercial motor vehicle traffic, such as speeding, distracted-driving, pre-trip inspections, commercial vehicle permits, logbooks, weight restrictions, means of attachment, unsafe loads, insurance and licensing infractions. This list is not exhaustive.

If you are operating a commercial motor vehicle or own this type of vehicle being operated on the roadways, ensure you and your drivers are adhering to all laws related to Ontario highways to keep our roadways safe and avoid potential fines.

Residents and travellers can expect to see an increased police presence on our roadways during this time.

If you see a driver that you suspect to be impaired, or operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner, contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or 911 in an emergency.
