Why aren’t there cops on the highways when people are doing 60 or 70?
This question came up during the March 11 #ASKaTrafficCOP After Dark livestream, and I had to clarify something first…
Do you mean 60 or 70 km/h total, or 60 to 70 over the speed limit?
Because those are two completely different problems.
If you’re talking about 60 to 70 km/h on a highway, that’s dangerously slow.
If you’re talking about 60 to 70 over the limit, that’s extremely dangerous speeding.
Either way, the bigger issue is this:
There aren’t enough officers on the road to catch everything.
Highway enforcement depends on available resources, and officers are balancing collisions, calls for service, and proactive patrol. That means not every dangerous driver gets stopped, even when they should.
That doesn’t make it okay.
It just reflects the reality of staffing and priorities.
I’ve always believed we need more officers focused on traffic safety, with an emphasis on:
• Enforcement that changes behaviour
• Education through enforcement
• Preventing collisions before they happen
Because the goal isn’t just tickets.
The goal is safer highways.
If you’ve got questions about traffic law, policing, or road safety, join me during the livestream or drop your question in the comments.
My name is Sean Shapiro, a former police officer, and I talk about traffic safety, traffic law, and police stuff.

my toxic trait is i would rather drive faster but have the drive be longer than being stuck behind a slow poke while the drive is still quicker #yomamaprobscantdriveeither #slowdrivershavethetism #slowdrivers #thoughtd #dabrainthinks

Continuing with the “What Grinds Todd’s Gears?” segment, it was Patrick who took the wheel to vent his disgust for drivers who “putt-putt” in the left lane while on the interstate, explaining it is #illegal to drive in the #leftlane if you’re not passing!
