Hamilton Police are focused on school bus safety as another school year kicks off.

Drivers are being reminded to follow safe driving practices.

Slow down:  The speed limit in school zones and near playgrounds are 40km/hr. Driver’s caught travelling 20 km/hr over the speed limit could face a $95 fine and three demerit points.

Stop for School buses: If a school bus is flashing red lights and an extended stop arm, traffic in both directions must stop. Failing to stop could result in a $490 fine and six demerit points.

Yield to Pedestrians at Crosswalks: Drivers must watch and pay attention to pedestrians at crosswalks, especially in school areas. Not doing so can mean a $180 fine and three  demerit points.

Impeding Traffic: Consider safety when you stop your vehicle in an undesignated location. You put your child and other children at risk.

School Bus Safety Enforcement runs from Sept. 4 to Sept. 15.
