RCMP issue back-to-school reminders for drivers, parents and students

Prince George RCMP are urging drivers, parents and students alike to keep the following safety tips and reminders in mind as schools reopen next week:- School zone speed limits are now back in effect. This means a 30 km/h speed limit in all marked schools zones, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all regular school days.- Do not pass a stopped vehicle that is allowing pedestrians to cross the street.

- When a vehicle is traveling at 30 km/h, it takes 18 meters to come to a complete stop. If you are travelling at 50 km/h, it takes 37 meters to stop.- Try to avoid dropping your child off for school on the opposite side of the street from their school. If this is unavoidable, make sure your child knows how to cross the street safely at the nearest designated crosswalk.- Learn the traffic patterns at your child’s school and obey the directions of crossing guards.

- If you are riding your bike, make sure you know the rules of the road and are travelling single file as close to the right side of the street as possible. Make sure your helmet is on and fits you properly.
