Timmins, ON – As students across the Timmins area head back to school, the Timmins Police Service is reminding all motorists to exercise heightened caution, particularly around school zones and pedestrian crossings. The safety of our children and crossing guards is a top priority as traffic increases near schools.
Drivers are urged to:
- Slow down in school zones
- Be aware of children crossing the streets
- Obey crossing guards directing traffic
To ensure public safety, Timmins Police officers will have an increased presence in school zones during peak times. Officers will be patrolling these areas and are prepared to enforce traffic laws where necessary to protect the safety of students, crossing guards, and all pedestrians.
By driving cautiously and obeying the rules of the road, we can help create a safer environment for our children as they return to their studies.
