Two new Community Safety Zones added on Ontario highways in Dryden and McMurrich/Monteith
COMMUNITY SAFETY ZONES — under the Highway Traffic Act
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
Two new community safety zones have been added to the provincial highway network. A stretch of Highway 601 in the City of Dryden — from its eastern junction with Highway 17 north to Ryczko Road — is now designated a community safety zone at all times, year-round. A section of Highway 518 in the Township of McMurrich/Monteith (Parry Sound District) — between points 20 metres east of West Bear Lake Road and 20 metres west of East Bear Lake Road — has also received the same around-the-clock designation. In community safety zones, fines for traffic violations (such as speeding) are doubled. Drivers regularly using these highway segments should be aware that increased penalties now apply at all times.
Who this affects: drivers using Highway 601 in Dryden · drivers using Highway 518 in McMurrich/Monteith · commercial vehicle operators on these routes · local residents and commuters
