Caledon is a beautiful destination in the Fall season. If you’re planning on visiting Caledon to see the changing fall colours, expect an increased police presence in areas where vehicular and pedestrian traffic increases.
Officers will be focusing on traffic and pedestrian safety, as well as enforcing municipal by-laws. If you are visiting the Cheltenham Badlands, which re-opened in 2018 with a new fully accessible platform, the only parking option is in the designated parking area east of the location on Olde Base Line Road.

To ensure everyone’s Fall Colours experience is a pleasant and safe experience, the following are some important safety tips:
• Follow the posted speed limit
• Buckle up – this includes the driver and all passengers
• Do not take pictures with your phone while driving – this is an excellent task for a passenger
• Parking is very limited in some areas especially surrounding Forks of the Credit Road. There are many no parking zones where violators will be ticketed and towed at their own expense
• Avoid breaking on leaves. Wet leaves can be slippery. Drive slowly and avoid hard breaking
• Be aware of the increased pedestrian traffic
• Focus on the road
• Don’t stop in a live lane
• Pay close attention to signage, including roads allowing local traffic only
• Be patient
• Never drive impaired
