On Thursday, April 2, 2009, at 8 a.m, at the Woodbine Entertainment Complex, 555 Rexdale Boulevard, northwest parking lot, 23 Division officers conducted a heavy truck and commercial vehicle enforcement blitz, entitled “Operation Safe Delivery,” that expired on Friday, April 3, 2009.
During the blitz, 116 vehicles were inspected by police; 71 had safety defects and 96 charges were laid. Commercial motor vehicle inspections are an integral part of highway safety. These vehicles move large amounts of commercial and industrial items throughout our city and their roadworthiness is of paramount importance.
When commercial motor vehicles, or their loads, cause or are involved in an event such as a collision, the results are often a substantial loss of productivity and a severe interruption to the free, safe and efficient flow of traffic.
The Toronto Police Service will continue with a wide variety of programs, designed to protect public safety and promote the smooth, safe flow of traffic.
