PERTH COUNTY - Perth County OPP kept a close eye on the roads over the weekend. 

The OPP is committed to the Canada Road Safety Strategy and the zero-tolerance, traffic enforcement event was geared to make our roads safer. Over the long weekend Perth OPP officers charged 65 people for speeding, 1 for stunt driving, 1 for careless driving, 2 for disobey a stop sign, 1 for seatbelts and 30 for other Highway Traffic Acts offences. Two impaired drivers were charged and removed from the road.  

Staff Sergeant Steph Pilon says this enforcement is all about safety.
