With the first official day of the new school year set for Wednesday, the school zone speed limits will come back in effect on Saturday. 

The reduced speed zones, which make the maximum 30km/h instead of the normal 50km/h, are present in front of all elementary schools within the City. There is however no reduced speed limit in front of R.D. Parker Collegiate.  

The reduced speed limits are only in effect from 8:00am until 5:00pm on weekdays during the school year. 

If caught going 50km/h in a school zone, you could face a ticket of over $300.

Motorists are also reminded to use extra caution both in and around crosswalks and drop-off zones, as come next week they will once again be busy.
