More than 20 drivers speed through school/community safety zones as school year begins

The first day of a blitz monitoring drivers’ speed in school and community safety zones shows that some need to make the adjustment to school year driving right away.

The OPP reports that Day 1 of the week-long effort resulted in more than 20 tickets being issued across Lanark County.

The OPP is asking drivers to watch for the school and community safety zone signs and slow down. They also note that fines in community safety zones are doubled.
