The Canton Police Department continues to conduct proactive traffic safety enforcements at various intersections along Ford Road. These enforcements are aimed at reducing the number of accidents occurring at high traffic crash areas within Canton. To accomplish this, the department has studied accident data to determine the high traffic crash areas, as well as the most frequent cause(s) of the accidents occurring there. Patrol officers then work these problem intersections ensuring compliance with local and state traffic laws, placing emphasis on the violations determined to be a frequent cause of accidents at the location.

Traffic safety enforcements will be held at various intersections on Ford Road, between Haggerty and Canton Center Roads, on October 17 & 26, from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.; November 4 from 12:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.; and November 9 from 3 p.m. –6 p.m. Signs will be posted at the intersection during the enforcement time, advising the motoring public of the activity. While working the intersections, officers will evaluate the traffic signals and signs in the area, notifying Wayne County Road Commission and/or the Michigan Department of Transportation of any problems or recommended changes.

The goal of this high visibility enforcement is to ensure compliance with state and local traffic laws, and bring public awareness to intersection safety, therefore making Canton's roads safer for residents and visitors.
