In the ongoing battle against road fatalities in Ontario, Lanark County takes a decisive stand by tackling one of the leading causes – speeding.
With speeding ranking among the top four factors contributing to road deaths, the county is determined to create a safer driving environment through a multi-faceted approach, including strategic partnerships.
Sean Derouin, the esteemed Manager of Public Works, sheds light on the county’s proactive efforts to address this critical issue. The latest initiative involves forming a dedicated working group focused on curbing speeding and promoting road safety.
The group’s primary mission is to provide essential insights and recommendations, tailored to the unique needs of each municipality within Lanark County.
As part of the comprehensive plan, the working group will explore and propose traffic calming measures, designating community safety zones, and implementing other measures to foster a culture of responsible driving.
However, this endeavor represents just one facet of Lanark County’s broader commitment to encourage motorists to slow down and prioritize safety. Through collaboration, determination, and community engagement, the county seeks to make a significant impact on road safety, saving lives and preventing tragedies.
As the county continues to strengthen its efforts to combat speeding and promote responsible driving, they call upon every citizen to join the cause.
