Toronto, Canada - December 7, 2011

Update: It seems within the first hour of these pothole stickers being used they have already caused over 14 motor vehicle accidents in the Greater Toronto area!  Monique Spendez was interviewed just minutes after the crash below and she said; “I saw this huge set of potholes in the road, I swerved to avoid them and almost ran into a van in the oncoming lane.”  She went on to say; “I then spun-out and hit a pole.”  “I will be suing the city for this!”

It is being reported that Richard Morsender of the Toronto Road and Transport Department has approved the use of pothole road stickers on a trial basis in 45 school zones throughout the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

Last year there were more than 4,000 speeding tickets given to motorists that ignored the reduce speed signs posted in school zones in the city of Toronto.  It is estimated that pothole stickers will help reduce speed in school zones by up to 90%.
