Question:

School zones……

Answer:

Not so much of a question this month, more of a REMINDER and a very important one!!

As I have been out with students during the first couple of weeks of September, I have noticed that a lot of drivers are NOT slowing down to the LEGAL SPEED LIMIT in school zones.

School zones with a 30 km/h speed limit posted under the school zone sign means you must slow to 30 km/h or slower BEFORE you reach the school zone sign.  Most people start slowing down AT the sign when you need to be at 30 km/h BY the sign.  Also be sure that you do not speed up until you are out of the school zone, which is when you reach the school zone sign on the opposite side of the road.
