Here’s what a handshake symbol on a parking space means

In Pembroke, Ontario, designated parking spots now feature a handshake insignia as part of Project Safe Trade, an initiative by the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP. These areas, located outside the OPP station at 77 International Dr., serve as community safety zones for secure online transactions.

Project Safe Trade encourages shifting transactions from private areas to public spaces, reducing risks like fraud or theft. The designated zones are available 24/7, requiring no appointments. However, police will only intervene if a transaction becomes a criminal matter.

Const. Mike Mahon emphasized that these zones help prevent fraud, advising caution if someone hesitates to meet in such secure locations. Safety tips include meeting in public, bringing a trusted companion, and conducting deals during daylight hours.

As holiday shopping surges, technology analyst Carmi Levy advises due diligence. Research sellers, verify items, and ensure devices work before payment. By taking precautions, both buyers and sellers can enjoy safer transactions this season.
