Truck prohibition pilot in the Town of Caledon

Pilot program will improve community safety in Alton and Caledon East.

Peel Region is implementing a one-year, time-of-day truck prohibition pilot beginning July 2026.

The pilot is aimed at improving community safety, reducing noise, and supporting pedestrian-friendly environments in the villages of Alton and Caledon East.

Refer to the visual map displaying the locations listed.

Reason for the pilot

The pilot is being introduced because residents in Alton and Caledon East have raised concerns about the amount of truck traffic moving through their communities.

Most of the trucks moving through these areas do not serve local destinations, with only a few beginning or ending their trips in the villages. This has led to worries about safety, noise, and the character of these village areas.

The pilot aims to reduce the impact of truck traffic during the busiest and most sensitive times of day. Trucks will still be allowed to use these roads outside the restricted hours.

This approach is designed to protect community well‑being while still supporting Peel’s transportation needs.

Where the prohibitions will apply

Alton:

• Regional Road 136 (Porterfield Road / Queen Street East / Main Street), from Regional Road 24 (Charleston Sideroad) to Dufferin County Road 109

Caledon East:

• Regional Road 7 (Airport Road) from Regional Road 9 (King Street) to Regional Road 24 (Charleston Sideroad)
• Regional Road 22 (Old Church Road) from Airport Road to Highway 50

Truck prohibition schedule

The pilot introduces prohibited truck access during the following times:

Monday to Friday

• 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.

In addition, all day on weekends and statutory holidays.

Monitoring and evaluation

Throughout the one-year pilot, Peel Region employees will actively monitor:

• Truck traffic patterns, such as increases or decreases and any shifts to nearby roads.
• Road safety impacts.
• Feedback from residents, businesses, and industry partners.

At the end of the pilot, Peel Region will prepare a full report and present it to Regional Council. Access the Peel Regional Council report at Pilot Truck Prohibition in the Town of Caledon.
