Cops Launch Big Crackdown On Drivers & Pedestrians
You can't blame Toronto drivers if they sometime think police are ganging up on them.
But now those behind the wheel will be happy to hear cops are putting a different foot down - this time on pedestrians.
Toronto's finest have announced a one week campaign called "Operation Safe Journey" which will not only drop the hammer on bad drivers but bad pedestrians as well.
It's easy to blame drivers when people get hit and sometimes they are at fault.
Pedestrians are NEVER at fault. On city roads, other than highways, pedestrians ALWAYS have the right-of-way. If they break the law and jay-walk, drivers are obliged to stop.
About Toronto's Weekly Carnage:
Toronto's Weekly Carnage is inspired by NYC's Streetsblog Weekly Carnage feature. The aim of this series of posts is to bring attention to the death and destruction wrought by automobiles and an auto-centric culture. Pursuing policies promoting walking, cycling and public transit could help reduce the carnage.
