School Starts Tomorrow

Monday, September 05, 2005 03:55 AM

A new school year starts tomorrow, so that means drivers and pedestrians should brush up on their road safety skills. Remember, the school zones will be back in effect . When school is in session, a 30-km/h school zone speed limit is in effect during the posted times, and vehicles must stop for school buses when their lights are flashing.

"During the first days of school, children may be too pre-occupied to remember road safety rules. Drivers need to keep in this in mind, especially around schools," said Laurie Baker, ICBC road safety programs manager.

Police will be out to ensure that drivers obey the rules in school zones. Drivers may also see bright yellow lawn signs that read "Slow Down.
School Zone" around schools across the province. This community campaign is sponsored by Autoplan brokers.
