Police are reminding residents to keep their eyes on the road while behind the wheel.
Ontario is popular with residents heading out to see the Fall Colours.

Officers will be focusing on traffic and pedestrian safety.
They offer a number of safety tips to make the Fall Colours experience pleasant and safe for everyone.
