October is Pedestrian Safety Month: Let’s Work Together to Keep Everyone Safe on Mississauga Roads  

By Events, Issues, Ward 1

September 28, 2021

 October is Pedestrian Safety Month in Mississauga. The City of Mississauga’s Road Safety Committee is partnering with the Region of Peel and Peel Regional Police to raise awareness about pedestrian safety. The risk for pedestrian collisions increases during the fall when daylight hours shorten. This campaign will raise awareness of these safety concerns for all road users to help prevent the risk of collisions and keep all road users safe on Peel Region and Mississauga roads while implementing Vision Zero principles.

“We’ve simply seen too many pedestrian collisions throughout Mississauga that are preventable. We need everyone in our city to prioritize protecting one another on our streets,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “As a City, we’re rolling out real solutions to address pedestrian safety concerns in making Vision Zero a reality. This year, we’ve installed Automated Speed Enforcement cameras, lowered speed limits in neighbourhoods and school zones, and used traffic monitoring technology to monitor congestion and respond quickly to incidents and emergencies.”

In 2020, there were 410 collisions in Peel Region between a vehicle and pedestrian. Fifty-eight per cent (238 collisions) were in Mississauga, with 50 per cent involving drivers making turns at intersections.

“Road safety is a shared responsibility between pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Paying attention to surroundings is important. As we move into fall and shorter daylight hours the risk for pedestrian collisions increases,” said Pat Saito, Ward 9 Councillor and Chair of the Road Safety Committee. “Through campaigns spearheaded by Mississauga’s Road Safety Committee, we’ve been reminding all drivers to slow down, obey posted speed limits and road signs and come to a complete stop at stop signs.”
