Report a bad driver in Mississauga
Mississauga is policed by Peel Regional Police, the same service as Brampton. Its Road Watch program writes to a car's owner and steps up each time the same plate is reported. The 401, 403, 410 and QEW go to the OPP, and dangerous city streets go to Mississauga 311.
Happening now? If a driver looks impaired, is racing, or a crash looks likely, call 911. Pull over first, or have a passenger call.
Report it to Peel Regional Police
Peel Regional Police take reports of a past driving incident online, under File a Police Report Online. Pick Report dangerous or aggressive driving, or Report a general driving concern for something less serious. The form asks for:
- The date, time and location, with street names and "Mississauga"
- The Ontario plate and a detailed description of the car
- What you could see of the driver
Online reports can take up to 21 business days to review. If police need more from you, you have 30 days to reply or the report is closed. To report by phone, call 905-453-3311.
Your report feeds Peel's Road Watch program, which steps up each time the same plate is reported:
- First report: a letter to the car's registered owner with the date, place and what happened.
- Second report: another letter and a phone call from an officer.
- Third report: a third letter and a visit from an officer. Charges may be considered.
Keep your dashcam clip saved in case an officer asks for it. Don't follow the car to get a better look.
On the highways through Mississauga
Highways 401, 403 and 410 and the QEW run through Mississauga, and the OPP patrols them. Its Highway Safety Division has an office on Argentia Road. For something you saw on a highway, call the OPP at *677 on a cell phone, or 1-888-310-1122.
Ask the city to fix a dangerous road
Mississauga's 22 speed cameras, which rotated through school zones, stopped ticketing at the end of November 13, 2025 and were removed after Ontario banned municipal speed cameras.
What the city still has: 201 Community Safety Zones, where fines are higher (every school zone is one), speed humps and raised crosswalks, Slow Streets, and crossing guards. Red light cameras are run by the Region of Peel and weren't part of the ban. There are about 20 in Mississauga.
To ask for traffic calming or a Slow Street, call 311, or 905-615-4311 from outside the city. 311 also gives out free "Slow Down" lawn signs.
Roads to watch in Mississauga
- Eglinton Avenue East at Tomken Road, Catalpa Road at Morning Star Drive, and Eglinton Avenue West at Creditview Road. The city picked these three for its Ready Now intersection safety upgrades based on collisions and traffic, with work installed in summer 2026.
- Derry Road. It has 8 of Mississauga's red light cameras, more than any other road.
- Hillcrest Avenue south of Pearwood Place. Before the ban, this speed camera issued more tickets than any other in the city: 8,469 from July 2021.
- Speakman Drive north of Flavelle Boulevard. The fastest speed the cameras recorded: 147 km/h.
Were you in a crash? Ask for city camera footage fast
Mississauga keeps its traffic camera (CCTV) footage for only 5 days. If a city camera might have caught a crash you were in, request the footage within that window. Save your own dashcam clip the same day, before the camera records over it.
Warn other drivers
A police report stays between you and the police. To warn other drivers about the same car, post your dashcam clip here. Other people can then look up the plate and see what you saw. Your name and email stay private.
Report a driver or look up a plate.
