The Perth County OPP Detachment Board is raising serious concerns about recent incidents of drivers ignoring official road closures due to weather, flooding, collisions, or other hazardous conditions. Road closures are not optional; they are to keep everyone safe.

When a road is closed, it is because conditions have been deemed unsafe for travel. This may include whiteout conditions, flooding, ice-covered surfaces, downed hydro lines, emergency response activity, or other significant hazards. Choosing to bypass or ignore a road closure places not only the driver at risk, but also passengers, first responders, municipal road crews, and other members of the public.
