Quebec is rolling out a sweeping collection of proposed laws to discourage harmful drivers by growing fines and including velocity cameras throughout the province.
Transport Minister Geneviève Guilbault introduced a five-year street plan Tuesday, which incorporates greater monetary penalties and extra demerit factors for drivers who commit infractions at school and building zones.
Also included within the 27-point plan is a provincewide, 30-kilometre-per-hour velocity restrict at school zones, a deployment of velocity cameras and funding to higher safe pedestrian and bike paths.
The new street security plan is thus far simply a top level view of targets, lots of which would require the federal government to draft new legal guidelines and laws.
The plan doesn’t specify, for instance, how a lot fines will enhance for unsafe street behaviour.
Guilbault says the province is dedicating greater than $180 million to understand the plan.
