• Follow posted speed limits; school zones have reduced speeds so drivers can safely stop to allow children to cross the street
• Avoid U-turns, backing up or making three-point turns
• Watch for vehicles, pedestrians, bikes, scooters and stopped school buses
• Obey crossing guards, stop signs and traffic signals
• If possible, walk or cycle to school with your child
• If you drive, park your vehicle and walk a block to the school to avoid the congested school zone and save time
• Obey all road signage and remember to park your vehicle:
  • In permitted areas only
  • A minimum of 10 feet or 3 metres away from a fire hydrant
  • A minimum of 30 feet or 9 metres away from an intersection
  • Within 6 inches or 15 centimetres of a curb
