With the Solar Eclipse today, OPP across the province are offering up tips to residents and tourists who will be on the roads or on their boat to take in a series of events planned in Ontario.
Drivers traveling to attend solar eclipse events should be prepared for delays and exercise caution.
Drivers during the eclipse should ensure their headlights are on, not wear eclipse glasses while driving, do not photo or video the eclipse while driving and never pull over to stop on the roadway to view the eclipse.
If you plan to be on the water during the solar eclipse, the OPP encourages boaters to be well-informed about Ontario safe boating practices and laws to help ensure an enjoyable and safe time.
Some waterways may have specific guidelines for boaters during special events such as the solar eclipse.
