Strong Development Growth Means Increase in Truck Traffic

Strong development growth in Windsor brings many positives, but also means an increase in heavy truck traffic on area roadways. 

To minimize the impact to residents and drivers, the City has been proactively reaching out to developers and contractors to ensure they are aware of and are following our by-laws with respect to road use. 

The City’s traffic by-law requires trucks to use approved truck routes whenever they are available and to return to those approved routes by the shortest means possible if they are not. 

Windsor Police Service and the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) are providing enforcement in areas of the city that are most affected, but if you see a problem, you can report it to the police via their Road Watch and Traffic Complaint reporting tool or by calling the MTO at 1-888-310-1122.
