Police Monitoring Speeding Concerns In Petrolia

Despite concerns from residents, a recent OPP study found the majority of vehicles on First Ave. were not speeding.

Town of Petrolia Operations Director Mike Thompson says the study found there is an increased flow of traffic because of the Petrolia Line Reconstruction Project.

There has been an increased police presence both in marked and unmarked vehicles monitoring speed concerns on First Ave.
