Highway 401 between Napanee and Kingston saw multiple closures last week due to some very serious collisions. Do these collisions have anything to do with the recent speed increase from 100 to 110km/hr on the Highway?
We asked L&A OPP Constable Brianna Raison, who shared she’s not inclined to make that connection right now.
While the Highway was closed, traffic was rerouted along the Emergency Detour Routes (EDR) through Greater Napanee and Loyalist Township. But some motorists were not following the EDR’s, causing more congestion in the community.
Raison says if there is a posted road closure ahead, it’s extremely important that traffic is following the posted EDR.
The OPP had this reminder to share with the community.
