Ontario Provincial Police officers are continuing the "Safe on 6" traffic safety campaign through Bruce, Grey and Wellington counties, into Hamilton and down to Port Dover.
Officers are focusing on enforcement and raise road safety awareness to reduce the number of serious crashes on the 480-kilometre long highway.
Last year, there were 1,065 collisions on Highway 6, with five fatalities and 173 crashes that resulted in injury. The two-day "Safe on 6" campaign is designed to deal with motorists whose unsafe driving behaviours are putting lives and property at risk.
Officers from five detachments in the Highway 6 corridor will join colleagues from the OPP Highway Safety Division and the Ministry of Transportation in an effort to enforce the law and educate motorists about the importance of driving safely.
Highway 6 is a major artery for commuters and commercial traffic alike.
"Highway 6 is a busy corridor and it's only going to get busier as summer approaches, with an increase in vacationers and commercial traffic. The OPP, along with our public safety partners, is urging motorists to follow the rules of the road to ensure everyone gets to their destination safely" said Inspector Shawn Johnson, OPP West Region Traffic and Marine manager.
