Remember to Drive SAFE this fall As a new year of school begins, Halton Region would like to remind everyone to share the road while traveling throughout Halton. The roads and neighbourhoods will be busier with children walking, bicycling, or taking the bus to and from school. Be safe, be aware and be courteous. Leave enough room on your right to pass cyclists safely and watch for pedestrians crossing the road. We would also like to remind all motorists to be aware of the speed limit, particularly in school zones, and to stop when approaching a school bus with its upper red lights ashing. For more about road safety in Halton, dial 311 or visit www.halton.ca/transportation. 1 1 Friday, Septem ber 2, 2011 O A K V ILLE B EA V ER w w w .in sid eH A LTO N .co m
