Sarnia police are warning commercial drivers to adhere to designated truck routes as some continue to utilize residential streets in order to avoid traffic on Highway 402.
Members of the Traffic Services Unit issued four tickets to commercial drivers in the city's south end on Tuesday, June 3.
So far this year, approximately 150 tickets have been issued.
Aside from those avoiding highway traffic, police said offenders also include those travelling through commercial areas such as London Line to Exmouth Street.
With road construction expected to intensify during the summer months, the police service has asked truck drivers to maintain safety on city roads and stick to their designated truck routes.
In addition to ensuring public safety, the designated truck routes were created in order to protect city infrastructure from damage caused by heavy vehicles and to reduce the risk of environmental hazards that may result from a collision.
There has been an increase in truck traffic on Highway 402 in Sarnia this week.
At times, trucks have been lined up past Modeland Road with wait times at the Blue Water Bridge listed at over two hours for trucks.
