NEW RULES FOR PEDESTRIAN AND SCHOOL CROSSINGS
(EMBRUN, ON) – As of January 1st, 2016 the Province of Ontario has adopted a new law to ensure pedestrians crossing roads are safe. The new law states that vehicles must yield the right of way to pedestrians as they cross the whole roadway.
“These rules apply at pedestrian crossovers identified with specific signs, road markings and lights – the new rules do not apply to pedestrian crosswalks at intersections with stop signs or traffic signals, unless a school crossing guard is present.”
Pedestrians should remember the following when crossing roads:
- Cross only at a cross walk and when it is safe to do so.
- Don’t cross when the light is red or when the do no cross sign is flashing.
- It is safer to cross when the light first turns green.
- Be cognitive of what is going on around you and don’t walk “distracted”
Drivers should always:
- Watch for children and be cautious during the times children are walking to and from school as well as take extra time when traveling in and around school zones.
- Be patient as some people may require extra time when crossing roads.
- Slow down pay attention and don’t drive distracted.
Fines for drivers that commit offences at school or pedestrian crosswalks range from $150 to $500 as well as 3 demerit points.
