Traffic enforcement in Toronto is a crucial part of maintaining road safety and ensuring compliance with traffic laws. The Toronto Police Service (TPS) manages a dedicated division known as Traffic Services, which is responsible for various aspects of road safety and enforcement. Their primary focus is to prevent accidents, investigate collisions, and promote safe driving practices across the city.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Investigating serious traffic collisions and fatalities
  • Enforcing traffic laws, including speeding and impaired driving
  • Monitoring and managing traffic during major events and incidents
  • Providing educational resources to the public on road safety

Major Initiatives:

  1. Speeding Enforcement: The TPS regularly conducts speed radar operations in areas prone to accidents or excessive speeding.
  2. Impaired Driving Campaigns: Annual campaigns focus on reducing impaired driving through random checkpoints and public awareness efforts.
  3. Collision Investigation: Specialized teams investigate fatal and serious collisions, providing detailed analysis to prevent future incidents.

"The primary goal of Traffic Services is not only to enforce the law but also to foster a culture of responsible driving and safe road use across the city."

Traffic Services Team: The division is comprised of highly trained officers who work in coordination with other law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of road users.
