Traffic Safety continues to be an important priority of the Toronto Police Service.

Collision analysis has shown that, on average 50 – 60 % of all fatalities involve pedestrians. To date, 86 % of all the fatalities reported this year have involved pedestrians. Last year, 24 pedestrians lost their lives, representing approximately 55% of all traffic fatalities in Toronto.

The March Break – March Safe Campaign will begin on Monday, March 11, and end on Sunday, March 17, 2013. The Toronto Police Service will continue to be diligent in the promotion of education and enforcement strategies intended to heighten public awareness of pedestrian safety within our communities.

With March Break quickly approaching, the number of pedestrians using the roadways increases exponentially. Toronto Police remain proactive in our continued efforts to ensure the safety of pedestrians. During this time, a campaign focused on increased awareness and pedestrian safety is a priority for the Toronto Police Service. In addition to enforcement and education strategies, the intent of the March Break – March Safe Pedestrian Campaign is to encourage all pedestrians to exercise a cautious approach when travelling on the roadways.

Officers will be paying particular attention to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians who commit traffic violations that may jeopardize pedestrian safety. Parking enforcement officers will assist in this initiative by concentrating on parking offences that may compromise the safety of pedestrians. Particular attention will be given to all intersection-related offences, pedestrian crosswalk violations, and pedestrians crossing in mid-block locations.

Together we can make the roadways of Toronto a safe place for all road users.
