Lethbridge students are back to school starting next week and authorities are reminding drivers about an important change to the traffic rules in school and playground zones.
Students will begin the new school year on Sept. 5 and police say motorists will need to slow down to 30 km/h in all school zones from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily."The decision to harmonize school and playground zones aligns with recommendations from the 2021 transportation safety plan and will help increase safety for youngsters accessing playground equipment during and after school hours," the Lethbridge Police Service said in a statement.
In addition to following the speed limit, police also ask drivers to park legally and watch out for school buses. "In the City of Lethbridge there is a bylaw prohibiting school buses from using their stop lights and stop arms, but drivers are still urged to use caution when navigating around buses that are stopped," police said.
Police are reminding pedestrians to stay safe as well by always crossing the street at corners or marked crosswalks and obey all other traffic safety rules.
