From Monday, March 19, 2018, to Sunday, April 1, 2018, the Toronto Police Service conducted a city wide traffic initiative. Speed reduction continues to be a main focus of Vision Zero and of the Toronto Police Service.

Over 6,800 provincial offence notices were issued during this campaign.

The top infractions were:

• Speeding - 4,122
• Disobey Stop Sign Offences - 871
• Disobey Sign - 737
• Distracted Driving - 443
• Red light offences - 338
• Unsafe lane changes - 196

Vision Zero acknowledges that collisions are going to happen, but that Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) collisions are preventable and unacceptable. The Toronto Police Service is committed to Vision Zero and to working collaboratively with our partner agencies in pursuit of this vision.
