A reminder to motorists that you must stop for school buses.
Provincial Police in Dryden have received numerous reports of drivers failing to stop for buses when their upper red signal-lights are flashing.
Police stress this is a dangerous act that could have fatal consequences if a child is crossing the roadway.
You are asked to slow down and pay extra attention when travelling in a school zone.
Vehicle owners can be fined anywhere from $400 to $2,000 for a first conviction and another $1,000 to $4,000 or imprisonment for a subsequent offence.
Relating to school buses, Sioux Lookout SL52 and SL99 won’t be running today (Wednesday) due to a shortage of drivers.
