With school now back in full swing, the RCMP remind drivers that they need to be more careful on the roads. 

Constable Sandy Deibert, from the Thompson RCMP detachment, spoke to Arctic Radio News, and said that everyone needs to be aware of students as they may not always stop for vehicles when walking to school. 

She said that because of this drivers need to be prepared to stop suddenly to make sure everyone gets to where they’re going safely.  

Constable Deibert added that the reduced speed limit in school zones is in effect from eight until five Monday to Friday.
