Children Back to School Soon - Remember to Drive Cautiously Through School Zones

Ontario children to be returning to school next week.  Iacobelli Law Firm would like to remind all drivers to use caution and be aware of pedestrians, as more children are expected to be crossing the roads.   This is particularly important when driving through school zones. 

In York Region, the York Regional Police have announced that officers will be increasing enforcement near schools and in school zones as part of Operation ABC – Always Be Careful. Operation ABC is a traffic initiative, in partnership with the York Catholic and York Region District School Boards, to educate motorists, students, parents and teachers of the importance of pedestrian safety in school zones, especially during school hours. 

In addition to enforcement at or near schools, officers will be actively looking for drivers who disobey the flashing lights of school buses. 

To all of our Ontario teachers and students, we wish you a safe and enjoyable school year!!
