Traffic delays expected in Huron County due to scheduled convoy

Huron County OPP is aware of a vehicle convoy planned for today that may cause some traffic delays for motorists within the county.

A convoy of vehicles is planning to pass through several towns and villages throughout the county. The potential size of the convoy may cause some temporary traffic delays in the affected areas. 

The OPP recognizes the right of everyone to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly however the rights of the general public, all road users, local residents and businesses must also be respected.

Huron County OPP's objective is to maintain the safe flow of traffic and when significant delays occur Huron County OPP will aim to restore traffic flow in the safest manner possible.

Huron County OPP requests anyone participating in the convoy to obey all traffic laws and behave in a manner that ensures safety for all users of the roadways. Further, any violations of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) or the Criminal Code will be investigated. 

If you encounter traffic slowdowns connected to demonstration activity, do not call 911 to report it. 911 is only for life-threatening emergencies.  For non-emergency matters you can call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. 

Huron County OPP would like to thank everyone for their patience and cooperation should they experience any delays on their travels.
