FedeliSafe texting zones could be appearing on the Kings Highway in the near future as MPP Vic Fedeli has tabled a bill for First Reading at Queens Park.

The bill would authorize the Minister of Transportation to designate texting zones as an area where a driver is able to park or stop safely and use a hand-held wireless communication device. Fedeli says it would authorize the government to designate a commuter parking lot, transit station or rest area as a texting zone and require signs to be displayed at or approaching it.

He adds this sends a clear message to drivers that there is no longer an excuse to endanger themselves and those they share the road with.
