As students make their way to and from class, there is more pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the road. It is important for drivers, parents and children to be alert, follow the rules of the road, and walk safely – especially in school zones.
The City of Vaughan is reminding everyone to take extra precautions around crosswalks, pedestrian crossovers, stopped school buses, school zones and intersections.
Tips for pedestrians of all ages:
As part of the Speed Compliance Program for school zones, speed signs will continue to be installed at elementary school locations throughout the city for two-week intervals. This is to help motorists be more conscious of their travel speed and promote road safety. The program continues to expand locations with the addition of more speed boards. This is an ongoing initiative that will continue throughout the 2021/22 school year.
School zone safety is a joint priority for the City of Vaughan’s Transportation and Fleet Management Services and By-law and Compliance, Licensing and Permit Services departments as well as Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service. Together with York Regional Police, York Region, York Region District School Board and York Catholic District School Board, the City is working to ensure the safety of all members of the community.
