Back to school safety tips Most schools in the Wel- lington County are faced with traffic issues such as parking in No Parking zones, speed- ing, unsafe turns, blocking school bus lanes and more, say Wellington OPP. In addition, children do not always follow the rules of the road. Often they enter the street from between two cars, attempt to get their bikes through an intersection before the light turns red, and skate- board or run into traffic. Motorists should exercise increased caution in and around our school zones. Potential dangers are much easier to pick up when driving at or below the speed limits. Special attention should also be paid to school buses with flashing red lights when on an undivided roadway. In these instances, motorists are required under the Highway Traffic Act to stop and wait until the flashing red lights are turned off before passing a bus. Following some of these simple Safety Tips, we may reduce the stress of back to school traffic: Remind children to; walk on sidewalks when available, cross roadways at the inter- sections; wear their bicycle helmet when riding their bike; walking their bike across the roadways; look in all direc- tions when crossing roads; Stop, Look, and Listen before entering the roadway. For Drivers: be aware of school zone signs; slow down; be ready to stop at all times. Children may not no- tice oncoming traffic; always try to make eye contact with children waiting to cross the road; be patient and wait for children to complete their crossing before proceeding; stop when directed to do so by a crossing guard. All members of Welling- ton OPP will be monitoring aggressive drivers and will increase enforcement if necessary to help make this transition to a new school year a safe one.
