The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are advising motorists and visitors planning to experience the solar eclipse in Eastern Ontario to prioritize safety and prepare for potential delays. Authorities emphasize the importance of cautious and patient driving en route to eclipse-viewing events. Travelers are urged to consult local news outlets for traffic updates, detour information, and parking guidelines. Key recommendations for eclipse day include using full headlights, refraining from wearing eclipse glasses while driving, and avoiding stopping on roads to view the celestial event. For those wishing to watch, safely parking away from traffic is advised. The OPP also reminds boaters to adhere to safety regulations, highlighting that certain waterways may implement special rules during the eclipse. Areas such as Brockville, Cornwall, and Kingston will witness a total solar eclipse, with the phenomenon starting at 2:11 p.m., peaking at 3:25 p.m., and concluding by 4:35 p.m. CTV News Ottawa and Newstalk 580 CFRA will provide extensive coverage of this astronomical event.
