Why do Peel Regional Police issue traffic tickets?
Road safety is of paramount importance to the Peel Regional Police. This view is reflected by the citizens of Peel Region through opinion surveys conducted periodically by Peel Regional Police. In fact, aggressive driving (i.e., speeding, tailgating, failing to stop for red lights and stop signs, etc.) was ranked as one of the top concerns of citizens when asked what they believe are the most serious community problems in Peel Region. The ultimate goal of traffic enforcement is to achieve voluntary compliance by all persons using the roads so as to reduce collisions and therefore injuries and or deaths. Over the last several years more than twice as many people died in vehicle collisions than died as a result of an act of violence. Working together, we can reduce these terrible statistics and make Peel Region a safer community.
