This petition is designed to get the speed limits for transport trucks and heavy trucks to be lowered in Ontario. These trucks should not be travelling at the same speed as other vehicles since they are harder to control and stop. These trucks should be travelling at a minimum of 10 km's less then normal traffic, so that it would give them sufficient time to make the necessary stops. After the tragedies in the month of September, something has to be done to make the roads safer when these trucks are around. Statistics prove that many fatalities have occurred because these large trucks have been travelling at excessive speeds, meaning they are not able to stop in time at intersections and other required stops. Please sign this petition in order to prevent other families from having to deal with the loss of their family members.
I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it makes me feel like maybe things can actually change for once. My head has been spinning all day with the notifications and it just reminds me of why we started this whole thing after those awful accidents.

Every time I drive on the highway I get nervous passing these guys. They cant stop fast enough if traffic backs up. Something has to change.

Too many accidents lately on the 401. Those trucks fly by like they own the lanes. Slow them way down.
