The first week of back to school is like training camp - parents, students and teachers are all getting back into the swing of things and into a routine. With class back in session, one of the many concepts to get used to again is school zones.
School zones are back in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Across Âé¶čAV during the first week of school, the Âé¶čAV RCMP and BC Highway Patrol handed out a total of 88 warning tickets to people who were caught speeding in a school zone.
âIt is imperative to emphasize that itâs everyoneâs responsibility to keep school zones safe by reducing our speed and remain vigilant,â said Const. Mike Della-Paolera.
The RCMP are also reminding the public to stay off their phones and hand-held devices when driving, whether in a school zone or not.
