Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) West Region laid over a thousand speeding charges during the 2026 Labour Day traffic campaign.
This year’s traffic safety education and enforcement campaign targeted the “Big Four” bad driving behaviours: aggressive driving, failure to wear a seatbelt, distracted driving, and impaired driving. These remain the leading contributing factors to death, injury and property damage on Ontario roads and highways.
