continued from p.20 Everyone must obey the rules 21 | Thursday September 21, 2017 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insidehalton.com If there are immediate safety concerns, call 911. A motorist reporting an `emergency' may use a device for that purpose, however, safety must be the primary consideration and pulling over to a safe location to place that call is urged. Online reporting is also an option, (HRPS Online Reporting Guidelines and Methods) or by visiting a police facility (HRPS Locations). The time, location and information about the vehicle and driver is helpful (i.e. licence plate, make, model and driver descriptors). Eating food, applying makeup or having an animal on the driver's lap is prohibited while operating a motor vehicle. Careless Driving (sec. 130) of the Highway Traffic Act speaks to a driver's lack of attention or consideration for others using the roadway, while Crowding the Driver's Seat (sec. 162) addresses other persons or property interfering with the proper management or control of the motor vehicle. QUESTION: Dear HRPS, why don't police target cyclists who break the rules of the road? Cyclists deserve to be on the road and most certainly need extra space and attention. However it seems as though a sense of entitlement is creeping into the minds of cyclists in our community. They run red lights and stop signs regularly, ride two or three abreast, don't signal turns, often ride aggressively and unpredictably, and many still don't have proper lights on their bikes. It seems as though `share the road' really means cyclists do whatever they want leaving motorists with all the responsibility. Shouldn't the re- sponsibility be equal and include mutual respect on both parts? I see a lot of cautions and public service announcements geared towards motorists (which I agree with), but in many cases it's the cyclist that is being unreasonable and dangerous. What is being done about this, if anything? ANSWER: Halton region has popular locations for cycling. Road safety is a shared responsibility and we all must do our part and be safe and considerate, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. Cyclists must adhere to the Highway Traffic Act, as motorists are expected to, including obeying stop signs, red traffic signals and sharing the road. Offences contrary to the Highway Traffic Act, committed by cyclists, are enforced. In the spring of 2017, HRPS partnered with municipal traffic departments, Halton Region, and cycling groups, to promote safe and lawful cycling. The campaign had an educational component, a warning phase and an enforcement phase. Routes were identified that have the greatest volume of cyclists and officers patrolled those routes to ensure compliance, by both cyclists and motorists. This collaborative, region-wide project will be evaluated at the end of October. ··· Have a question for police?
