It appears a lot of drivers aren’t paying attention to the signage through the construction zone on Grand Avenue West in Chatham at Lacroix Street.
Police report officers kept watch over the intersection this week, laying 87 charges for drivers making illegal turns.
Sgt. Matt Stezycki said the enforcement and education conducted served multiple purposes.
“Our officers directed their attention to this area, to first and foremost ensure the safety and wellbeing of the construction workers, and secondly to assist in maintaining the flow of traffic through appropriate driver actions,” he said in a media release. “We will continue to monitor the area, with the goal of ensuring the safety of those involved and those travelling on our roadways.”
The Chatham-Kent Police Service reminds everyone that this intersection is clearly marked.
