Speeding is an ongoing issue I have been working hard to tackle, and I continue to partner with York Regional Police (YRP) to deter this behaviour. We have Speed Radar Display Boards rotating every three months that have proven to help reduce speeding by up to 20%. If you have any locations in mind, please feel free to share them with me.
In addition, my office has “slow down” signs. If you are interested, kindly contact me at alan.ho@markham.ca. |
