The Ontario Provincial Police urge drivers to stop, look, and live at intersections in the West Region.
"Intersection-related collisions continue to have devastating consequences for individuals, families, and communities," read a release. "In both 2024 and 2025, 13 lives were lost each year as a result of failure-to-yield and intersection-related incidents. Additionally, since May 2025, West Region OPP has responded to three separate intersection-related fatal collisions, each claiming five lives."
Starting Monday and continuing until June 21, officers will target behaviours such as failing to stop at stop signs, failing to yield the right of way, and inattentive driving.
"Every intersection presents a critical decision point for drivers. Taking an extra moment to stop and look can save lives," said Staff Sergeant Julie McLeod with the OPP West Region Traffic and Marine Unit.
Police remind drivers to come to a full and complete stop at all stop signs, look in all directions more than once, never assume other drivers will stop or yield, and be mindful of pedestrians, cyclists, and approaching vehicles.
