Halton Regional Police will be using a safety campaign in April to crack down on speeders and drivers putting road users at risk.

Project ‘Rural Impact’ has been launched in an effort to reduce aggressive driving in two rural communities, Milton and Halton Hills.

Officers are expected to be stationed throughout the region in marked and unmarked vehicles, targeting drivers who ignore posted speed limits.
