Province Reminds Drivers to Watch for Children, Drive With Care as School Begins
Manitoba Infrastructure reminds motorists to drive with extra care in school zones as thousands of students will soon be returning to school.
The return to school will see vehicular and pedestrian traffic greatly increase in school areas. Motorists are advised to drive with extra caution and be alert to the increased presence of children in school areas.
Municipalities have authority to reduce speed limits in school zones and establish times in which the speed reduction is in effect. Speed reductions and effective dates and times may vary by municipality.
Motorists are advised to pay particular attention to the posted speed as some schools have speed reductions in effect.
