With the holiday season coming to an end and children heading back to school, CAA Saskatchewan reminds drivers to be alert around schools: Slow down to the posted speed limit. Be prepared to stop for safety patrols at intersections and crosswalks. Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students. Watch for children darting out from between parked cars or buildings.
CAA also encourages parents and guardians to help their children stay safe on the way to and from school by teaching them to stop, look both ways and listen before crossing the street, and to wait for the signal of the school safety patroller when crossing the street in a school zone.
