1. Don’t stop or park within five metres of a crosswalk. It reduces visibility of people using them to cross.

2. Do not park or stop in an area marked with ‘No Sopping” signs. Obey time restricted zones.

3. Do not stop or park in a designated bus zone, even if it appears clear.

4. Do not make U-turns in school intersections or crosswalks. Go around the block if necessary.

5. Do not stop next to parked cars and leave your vehicle idling to ‘quickly’ run inside.

6. Never walk out from between parked vehicles. Always use the marked crosswalks.

7. Remember school zones are all designated as playground zones. The speed limit is 30 km/hour from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm whether it is daylight or not.
