About This Dataset

This dataset includes about 5,700 roadside testing incidents reported across Oakville over roughly a year and a half. The focus is on traffic enforcement activity rather than a broad mix of crime types, offering a clear view of impaired-driving and roadside check patterns.

Geographically, incidents cluster along Oakville’s main transportation corridors. Roads such as Neyagawa Blvd, Bronte Rd, Dundas Street, Trafalgar Rd, and Dorval Dr consistently rank at the top. These streets are likely high-traffic routes where enforcement is more visible and effective.

From a seasonal perspective, roadside testing is relatively steady, with most months recording between 500 and 650 cases. Activity peaks during the summer and early fall of 2025, while winter months and partial reporting periods show lower totals.

Time-of-day analysis shows two clear patterns: elevated enforcement during early-morning overnight hours and another spike around midday and early afternoon. In contrast, early morning commute hours record comparatively fewer incidents.

Taken together, the data provides a focused snapshot of when and where roadside testing is most common in Oakville, helping highlight enforcement priorities and traffic safety patterns.
