Kingston Police Issue 78 Tickets During Long Weekend Traffic Enforcement

April 7, 2026 

Road safety remains a top priority during holiday long weekends, when increased traffic can lead to a higher risk of collisions and unsafe driving behaviour.

Over the recent long weekend, from April 3 - April 6, the Kingston Police Traffic Safety Unit conducted targeted enforcement focused on improper, unsafe, and aggressive driving.

As a result of these efforts, officers issued a total of 78 Provincial Offence Notices and 26 warnings for various administrative and moving violations.

The majority of offences were related to excessive speeding. Officers issued 61 speeding tickets, with drivers recorded travelling an average of 30 km/h or more above the posted speed limits. The highest speeds observed were 42 km/h, 51 km/h, and 59 km/h over the limit, all occurring in 60 km/h residential and commercial zones.

Additional charges included:

• 8 tickets for disobeying lane light
• 5 tickets for disobeying stop signs
• 2 tickets for expired permits
• 1 ticket for failing to display two license plates
• 1 ticket for operating a trailer without a license plate

Kingston Police continue to remind motorists that aggressive and high-risk driving behaviours significantly increase the likelihood of serious collisions. Drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits, follow traffic signals, and drive responsibly at all times.
