Make sure not to drive too fast this week...

AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS BEWARE! � Operation Target Street is coming to a street near you. Commencing on Monday, January 12th, 2004 and running through until Sunday, January 18th, 2004, the Toronto Police Service will be �targeting� drivers who speed, disobey traffic signals, make prohibited turns and cause gridlock at intersections. In addition, pedestrian and parking infractions will also be strictly enforced during this one week campaign.

This year�s edition of Operation Target Street has allowed each Division in the city to select it�s own target street based on areas that experience a high number of collisions, excessive speeds and overall disregard for the rules of the road. �It is important that we set the right tone early on in this New Year that aggressive driving will not be tolerated on our streets� says Superintendent Steve Grant of Traffic Services.

The selected streets are as follows:

11 Div � Bloor St.
12 Div � Eglinton Ave.
13 Div - Eglinton/Bathurst
14 Div � Dufferin St.
22 Div � The Queensway
23 Div � Kipling Ave.
31 Div � Weston Rd.
32 Div � Yonge St.
33 Div � Don Mills Rd.
41 Div � Kingston Rd.
42 Div � Sheppard Ave.
51 Div � Bloor Street
52 Div � Richmond St.
53 Div � Eglinton Ave.
54 Div � O�Connor Drive
55 Div � Kingston Rd.

Traffic Services � Highway 27.

i've heard that there is a camera on the signal at yonge & bloor that this you if you blow off the red light, and sends you a ticket. any truth to that?

I think there are a few red light cameras in toronto, and also in hamilton.

Defeats the purpose when you broadcast where it is going to be

You should tell that to:

- the trucker who nearly hit me yesterday
- the chick in a van who nearly hit me yesterday
- the woman who nearly sandwiched a kid between her car and mine today
- the guy who parked in the middle of a two-lane street today

Makes me wanna not drive anymore.

If you guys hear something about a 20 year old Male going crazy on the streets, Grand Theft Auto-style then you know its me. So many idiots on these roads.

saw this in action on yonge st. between finch and steeles....cops were swarming

I can't even count the number of times I've gone past the laser radar guys on Scarlet, Ossington, Dufferin, and I've been stuck behind slow people. If it were not for them I would have been pulled over, I thank those people each and everytime.

They were out on dufferent Monday bright and early. I drove by, speeding (nothing excessive) while the two cops had two people pulled over.
