OPP officials allege: On January 8, 2025, Lambton County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) participated in a joint forces traffic safety initiative at Bluewater Bridge in Point Edward.
Lambton OPP partnered with the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) and the Federal Bridge Corporation-Bluewater Bridge, the enforcement effort focused on ensuring compliance with traffic laws and promoting public safety.
During the initiative, officers conducted nine commercial vehicle inspections.
As a result, 13 commercial motor vehicle charges were laid for violations, including:
· Improper use of border approach lane
· Hours of service non-compliance
· Window tint exceeding legal limits
· Expired Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR)
The Lambton OPP would like to remind CMV operators to always use the correct approach lane when traveling to the border.
