Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
The Saskatoon police traffic unit will be paying extra attention to school zones this week.
In particular, they’ll be looking for people making U-turns, which are illegal in a school zone and subject to a $90 fine.
The extra enforcement comes following a spike in violations and complaints.
Police reminded drivers that kids playing near a school zone may not be able to anticipate a vehicle suddenly changing direction.
They also noted blind spots change while a driver is making a U-turn, potentially making them unable to see what’s happening outside their vehicle.
Speed limits in Saskatoon’s school zones are set at 30 km/h Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. between September and June, including statutory holidays.
