Never pass a stopped school bus. Obey visual bus signals, such as the activated stop arm and flashing red or amber lights.
Back to school means back to slowing down and keeping an eye out for young people. Traffic will also increase on local roadways and government is out with tips for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to reacquaint themselves with the road safety practices and the requirements of the Highway Traffic Act. Obey the posted speed limit in school zones and yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. Never pass a stopped school bus. Obey visual bus signals, such as the activated stop arm and flashing red or amber lights. Maintain one metre of open space between your vehicle, and a bicycle or pedestrian. If the speed limit is more than 60 kilometres per hour, increase this space to 1.5 metres. Remember that distracted driving is illegal and poses a serious safety risk. Cyclists are required to use bicycle paths or lanes where provided, instead of using the roadway. They are also required, by law, to wear a helmet.
