Mississauga to observe World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

The City of Mississauga is joining global efforts to honour those affected by traffic collisions and highlight local road safety initiatives.

By the Sauga 960 newsroom · · 1 min read

The City of Mississauga will observe World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on Sunday, November 15. This day serves to honour families, friends, emergency responders, and community members impacted by traffic tragedies.

To address this, the City is working toward eliminating serious and fatal collisions through its Vision Zero Action Plan.

According to the World Health Organization, roughly 1.16 million people die annually from traffic collisions. These injuries are the primary cause of death for children and young adults aged five to 29, with over half of these deaths involving pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.

Throughout 2026, the City invested in infrastructure to improve safety, including 40 traffic calming projects and 18 new pedestrian crossovers. Additionally, more than 600 traffic bollards were placed on 313 roadways to encourage lower speeds in neighbourhoods.

Specific improvements were made to school zones, including physical traffic calming measures and the continued operation of crossing guards at over 160 locations. The City also installed three new midblock pedestrian signals at Burnhamthorpe Road, Glen Erin Drive, and Millcreek Drive.

Residents are encouraged to reflect on road safety and their role in creating safer streets. More information is available at mississauga.ca/roadsafety and mississauga.ca/visionzero.
