Roads in and out of Niagara Region were chock-a-block with cars this July 1 holiday weekend. The Ontario Provincial Police say there were more vehicles on the road than any time in about the last 10 years.
The Canada Day weekend coupled with the American Fourth of July celebration is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year in the city.
