www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, November 11, 2016 | 8 Letter to the Editor Meaningful traffic enforcement means boots on the street, not cameras: reader continued from p.6 Fine or no fine. It's a faceless fine and as long as you can pay it, you're OK. I feel there is a two-tier solution to provide a working strategy that others might follow our example. Our town could create a Safe Driving Campaign that would work alongside Halton Regional Police Service and involve the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services through a partnership. Develop a more direct ad campaign, with radio spots and posters, get the word out there, make people more aware. Halton Regional Police Service, working alongside the Town of Oakville, could utilize the Safe Driving Campaign with a heightened awareness week similarly done with young kids and driving cautiously near school zones or MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). We need more boots on the street, not red light cameras. Red light cameras don't take away demerit points, increase car insurance rates or issue dangerous/careless driving tickets. People don't seem worried about the repercussions -- the human element is needed to make people understand it's not just a red light -- but a life they could be saving, even their own. Oakville needs to make a trip back to the safer roads it once enjoyed.
