The OPP have launched Operation Safe Driver Week.
The safety initiative, in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation focuses on commercial vehicle safety.
West Region OPP Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said motorists will notice an increased police presence on area roads and highways.
"We'll have the OPP and its partners conducting targeted enforcement among commercial and non-commercial drivers as they focus on how they share the road with one another," said Sanchuk. "Improper lane changes, following too closely, speeding and other aggressive or careless driver actions or behaviours are among the violations that officers will be watching for."
Sanchuk said commercial drivers are reminded that 24/7 compliance with commercial vehicle safety requirements such as inspections, hours of service, secured cargo and the movement of dangerous goods is critical to keeping roads safe and forms part of commercial vehicle enforcement.
Last year, OPP officers responded to 8,817 collisions involving large transport trucks, 73 of which were fatal and 905 resulted in injuries.
Operation Safe Driver Week kicked off on Sunday, July 13 runs until Saturday, July 19.
