Halton officers are stepping up enforcement at ‘high risk’ Milton crossroads after police were called to investigate 20 collisions at intersections along Derry Road last month alone.

According to Halton police, Derry Road at Trafalgar Road, James Snow Parkway, Thompson Road, Ontario and Bronte Street was the site of at least four collisions each in June. Of those, 70 per cent were rear-end collisions, said police.

Officers with the Halton Regional Police Service’s 12 Division will be ramping up enforcement in an attempt to target offenders and discourage dangerous driving habits.

“Motorists are reminded that community safety is a shared responsibility and road users need to eliminate distractions, obey traffic control signals and speed limits and drive according to traffic, road and weather conditions,” said police in a release.
