The Halton Regional Police Service announced the launch of Project Five-O this week in town. The traffic-safety initiative will run for one week, starting tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 21). During the campaign, police officers will target drivers who speed on 50 km/h residential streets in Oakville. Police said they would focus their attention on residential streets that have been identified as having low driver compliance for the posted speed limit and stop signs. They declined to name specific streets. There is no shortage of reasons for police to focus on speeding in Oakville On Wednesday, Feb. 13, a 40-year-old Richmond Hill man was charged with stunt driving after a vehicle was allegedly captured on radar travelling 103 km/h in a residential 50 km/h area of Bronte Road (south of the QEW). The driver's vehicle was impounded at the scene for seven days. Police are hoping the Project Five-O campaign will once again serve to remind drivers that as speed increases so does the risk of collision and injury.
