Sarah Mills: The magic of the May Long Weekend
Sarah Mills is looking forward to the May Long Weekend, and says the holiday holds the promise of the summer ahead, even...
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.
