Cornwall - Mar. 7, 2011 - Motorists in Cornwall should pay special attention to traffic signs or it could end up costing them.

As part of its ongoing Traffic Action Plan, the Cornwall Community Police Service will be conducting targeted enforcement of sign violations throughout the month of March.
