As you know, many roads throughout the province are closed and if you still decide to drive on a closed road, you could be fined a large amount.
- $298 for driving a light vehicle (such as a car, SUV or pick-up truck) on a closed road;
- $672 for directing a person, such as an employee, to drive a light vehicle on a closed road;
- $672 for driving a heavy vehicle on a closed road; and
- $1,296 for directing a person, such as an employee, to drive a heavy vehicle on a closed road.
In addition to the hefty fines, if you are convicted of driving on a closed road, you will be penalized two demerit points. Law enforcement also has the option of sending drivers to court in very serious cases where fines may be applied of up to $2,000 for offences involving light vehicles and up to $5,000 for offences involving heavy trucks and buses.
