Dozens of drivers went wrong way on Highway 401 since Gordie Howe bridge opened: OPP
Wrong-way driving near Gordie Howe bridge flagged
Ontario Provincial Police are urging drivers to pay closer attention to traffic signs when approaching the Gordie Howe International Bridge in Windsor, Ont., after dozens of cars were seen driving the wrong way on the nearby stretch of Highway 401.
Police say there have been 64 incidents involving wrong-way drivers on the highway since the bridge opened in July.
They say drivers who miss the exit before the bridge should not panic, make a U-turn or reverse down the highway to avoid getting on the new border crossing to the United States.
Police say drivers can head toward the toll booths and staff there will let them out at a gate so they can avoid approaching border customs.
Drivers who don’t want to enter the United States are asked to exit the highway at Ojibway Parkway, or Exit 1.
Police are warning that the consequence of driving the wrong way is "either a $110 ticket or a deadly crash."

Cultural sector concerned about lack of news on Ottawa's promised $600M
Cultural sector concerned about funding wait
THE CANADIAN PRESS/ Patrick Doyle
Cultural sector groups say they’re starting to worry about the Liberal government’s silence on $600 million in promised funding.
In June, the federal government said it would tell the CRTC to change course on requiring big streamers like Netflix to contribute to Canadian content, and would instead provide funding directly.
But four months later, the government still isn't saying when it will provide the new direction to the CRTC or disburse the $600 million.
This has left the sector without either payments from streamers or the promised government funding.
A group representing independent producers says funding that was supposed to provide the sector with a sense of certainty is now a source of uncertainty itself.
Canadian content contributions and rules for streamers became a flashpoint in the ongoing trade talks with the United States, and were among the reasons Canada ended the latest round of negotiations.

Suspect arrested after catalytic converters stolen from food charity's trucks
Suspect arrested after charity's trucks vandalized

Toronto police say they have arrested and charged a 29-year-old man accused of breaking into a charity's parking lot over Thanksgiving weekend and stealing several catalytic converters from their trucks.
Police say they arrested the man after executing a search warrant at an Oakville residence on Wednesday and charged him in connection with the thefts at Second Harvest, a charity that rescues food en route to landfills and redistributes it to people in need.
Police say they were called to Second Harvest's headquarters in the city's west end just after midnight on Sunday after an unknown number of suspects broke into the charity's parking lot and stole truck parts.
Police say the accused, who faces three counts of breaking and entering, is also believed to have pulled off other catalytic converter thefts in the area.
Police allege the Oakville man was involved in thefts at nearby businesses in September and October that caused vehicle damage.
At a Wednesday news conference, Second Harvest CEO Lori Nikkel said the charity has received an influx of support in the wake of the thefts, and that local food importing business Aurora Foods donated $60,000 to help cover the cost of the truck repairs.
