City reminds drivers to slow down during expressway maintenance

From April 1 to October 31, crews will be completing ongoing cycles of mowing and litter cleanup along City expressways. The City reminds residents to slow down when driving by work zones for the safety of crews working adjacent to the expressway.

Drivers are also reminded to cover and secure their cargo when driving on the expressway. Unsecured cargo is the main source of expressway litter and drivers can be subject to ticketing, as per Waste Bylaw 8310.  

Securing cargo is not only important for protecting your vehicle and the items that you are carrying, but it is also a critical step in helping to prevent dangerous accidents. You are encouraged to use ratchet straps, bungee cords and/or tarps depending on what you are carrying. This will help to secure your cargo, minimize litter, and help keep everyone safe on the road.

The City thanks drivers for their cooperation.
