The Toronto Police Service is committed to Vision Zero and making Toronto roads among the safest in the world.

Vision Zero acknowledges collisions are going to happen, but that Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) collisions are preventable.

From Monday, June 18, 2018, to Sunday, June 24, 2018, Traffic Services focused on known contributing factors to KSI collisions. These factors include speeding, distracted driving, aggressive driving, and impaired driving.

Over 600 provincial offence notices were issued during this campaign.

The top infractions were:

• Speeding: 203
• Disobey Sign Offences: 163
• Distracted Driving Offences: 75
• Turning Offences: 72
• Disobey Traffic Signal: 66
• Careless Driving: 57

Criminal Code Offences:

• Impaired Driving Arrests: 6
• Warn Range Driving Suspensions: 2

We all have a role to play in making Toronto roadways safe places.

Traffic Services wants to remind the public that anyone can assist our efforts by filing an online traffic or driving complaint by clicking here.
