BUCK Dufferin Detachment Phone: 519-925-3838 FROM/DE: DUFFERIN DETACHMENT DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 BACK TO SCHOOL TRAFFIC SAFETY (DUFFERIN COUNTY, ON.) – The summer season is fast approaching its end and with it we usher in a new school year. As motorists we now must keep a watchful eye for children who may be walking or cycling to and from school. Reduced speed limits in Community Safety Zones near schools will be strictly enforced. School buses will be reappearing on our roadways These motor vehicles stop frequently and appear to drive slowly, but that is generally because they are adhering to the speed limit. These actions can frustrate some drivers. However these vehicles carry our most precious cargo, our children, and it is for that reason alone, when following a school bus you must drive patiently and responsibly. Officers from Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police are reminding the motoring public that passing a stopped school bus with its’ stop arm out and red lights flashing is an offence which could cost you $500.00 and 6 demerit points, while speeding fines in a Community Safety Zone are double the standard fine. - 30 - Contact: Provincial Constable A.
