Re: Second dump truck crash within two days in the same New West intersection (May 16, 2024)

Isn't in about time that a major crackdown takes place on dump trucks speeding through Sapperton and other parts of New West?

Two crashes in three days, and I cannot even count how many dump trucks speed through the 30 km/h zone through Sapperton, especially in the early morning.

They are not the only offenders in that regard, but they seem to drive their trucks like they are sports cars.

They don't stop at crosswalks and they get quite angry when called out or waved to slow down.

When is enough going to be enough?
