TORONTO, Ont. – The May 2-4 weekend is officially coming to a close, and that means motorists coming home from cottage country, other areas of Ontario or the United States can expect traffic chaos through Monday afternoon and evening.

The Ontario Safety League’s Brian Patterson told 680News drivers have to be prepared that the return trip will be much the same as the drive out of town – congested and slow moving.

“Plan for a successful trip home by leaving at the appropriate time and anticipating a little bit of congestion,” he said. “Turn on the air conditioning, take it easy and you’ll get home.”

680News will have cottage country traffic reports on the 9′s, starting at 3 p.m., Monday, in addition to regular traffic updates.

Police services from across the province have been targeting distracted, aggressive and impaired drivers, as well as those not wearing their seatbelts, throughout the Victoria Day weekend.

“Speed, no seatbelts, failure to pay attention either by distraction or just not paying attention, and of course the one that’s always a strain on the long weekend is impaired driving,” Patterson said.

“Do the speed limit. They’re there for a reason,” York Regional Police Sergeant Sarah Jane Riddell told 680News, adding that aggressive driving is also a concern.

“Red lights, stop signs, following too closely – all of those aggressive driving behaviours that unfortunately we see on the roads.”

It’s also been a deadly weekend on the roads. On Saturday, Peel Regional Police Constable Ewa Domagalska was involved in a collision involving three motorcycles and an SUV. Domagalska, who was one of the three motorcyclists, succumbed to her injuries in hospital early Monday morning.

In Peterborough, meanwhile, veteran actor and comedian Paul O’Sullivan died in a car crash outside his home. Another person died in a crash on Saturday on the 401 near Cambridge.
