🚨 Traffic Unit Update – A Lesson in Patience 🚨

Earlier today, officers from our Traffic Unit attended the area of Highway 403 at Garden Avenue following a collision that caused traffic to back up on the highway.

Unfortunately, some drivers decided that waiting like everyone else simply wasn’t an option… and instead chose a creative solution — driving the wrong way down a one-way on-ramp to get around the traffic.

Our officers were there to greet them.

By the time things wrapped up, a total of 26 drivers were charged, including:

24 drivers – Drive wrong way on a one-way
2 drivers – Backing up on an on-ramp
1 driver was also charged for driving without a license

For those wondering, the fine for driving the wrong way on a one-way is $110 and three demerit points.

In fact, officers handed out so many tickets that they actually ran out of printer paper in the cruiser.

A reminder: if traffic is backed up due to a collision, the safest and fastest option is usually the least exciting one — wait your turn and follow the rules of the road. Driving the wrong way on an on-ramp isn’t a shortcut… it’s a ticket. 🚔
