(PERTH COUNTY, ON) From Monday May 10, 2010 until Friday 14, 2010, Perth County OPP officers are promoting their “Stop and Look†campaign. They are focussing attention on intersection related offences where drivers fail to stop or yield where required.
At the completion of the first day of the five day campaign, 33 tickets have been issued to drivers who contravened the requirements of a complete stop at stop sign or yielding at yield sign. These drivers received a $110 ticket, and in addition they receive 3 demerit points which are registered against their drivers licence.
This campaign will hopefully raise the awareness of traffic controls at intersections and will encourage drivers to “Stop and Lookâ€, especially at stop signs. “Remember, don’t become a statisticâ€.
