dangerous driving charges are way up in Montreal nearly double the number laid by the same time last year so what's happening there's more traffic on the island a lot of people are returning to the office so more people are on the roads construction and detours seem to be everywhere and they are adding stress and spurring shortcuts impatience and road rage are heightening emotions drivers are distracted and that leads to Danger I don't know what's going on with the people on this on on the road they are stuck in traffic and they less patient they start accelerating and uh provoking start cutting other people speeding stopping put other people in danger that's what it is about reckless driving traffic has nearly returned to pre- pandemic levels and the consequences are clear in the first 6 months of 2024 there were 16 debts three more than the same time last year there was also an increase in serious injuries from 52 to 74 and the biggest jump was dangerous driving offenses 166 offenses were recorded in the first 6 months of 2023 this year 312 were recorded on Montreal roads that is elevating serious concerns about Road Safety in Montreal the city can do more especially on arterial roads where there's the more number of uh of pedestrian debts the government of Quebec can do more by modifying the design standards of roads and make them safer taking into account pedestrian needs since the beginning of September several children have been hit on the way to school some sustained serious injuries dagar said that even if the pedestrian is at fault ultimately the driver needs to pay extra attention because of the power behind the vehicle he pointed to a recent incident that didn't lead to a serious injury but should serve as a warning the grandfather trying to bring his young kids to the school he was crossing the place that wasn't supposed to cross and the car still kills people so that's we trying to send a message be careful so yes we're going to be more severe as the police department the city stepped up its efforts to ensure pedestrian safety in the wake of the death of a 7-year-old girl who died in a hit and run on her way to school back in 2022 they have added speeding controlling measures and every year they modify the traffic lights with pedestrian safety top of Mind police have ramped up their patrols especially near school zones and the City of Montreal is calling on the province of Quebec to install 300 photo radar devices to deter speeding drivers pedestrian cycle people please be careful let's try to find a way to cooporate all of on the same street but one thing for sure the drivers the car is still the one that kills people
