Town participates in Traffic Safety Blitz | June 2021

In June 2021, the Town of Lincoln cooperated with partners in Project Avoidance, conducted on the roadways in Lincoln. The pilot project was developed in response to the Town of Lincoln’s request and through cooperation with the Niagara Regional Police (NRP), Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Halton Police Service and the Niagara Parks Police to conduct safety and compliance checks on commercial vehicles and/or trucks.

MTO and NRP officers patrolled the community to monitor where trucks may be bypassing the inspection station on the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) between Vineland and Beamsville in Lincoln. In total officers stopped 103 vehicles, 45 of which were inspected. As a result of the stops two drivers were placed out of service and one truck was placed out of service. Officers issued 16 provincial offences notices.
