According to surveys, nearly one-quarter of drivers have witnessed either a collision or a near miss involving a child in or near a school zone. Given the amount of traffic passing through some of our school zones, that’s a worry.
Summer is always over way too soon for me. Putting wildfires and heat domes aside for just one moment, I love long, lazy summer days and those warm evenings that accompany them.
Nearly half of the drivers surveyed witnessed an incident of distracted driving in a school zone. Last year, I recall three incidents myself where cars were way over the 30 km/h limit. One driver was also on a cellphone, but more disturbingly, the other two times where cars sped past, they pulled into the teachers’ parking lot.
Last year, the cops handed out 6,500 tickets in B.C. for school and playground zone violations - yet the concerns remain.Put time on your side. Every family has time crunches. It’s just part of life with kids but a little proactive organization can help around getting them to school on time. Teach kids road awareness everyday. It takes kids quite awhile to learn that cars, especially speeding ones, can appear from nowhere. Wherever possible cross at crosswalks and develop that “head on a swivel” mentality for kids walking along the street.
If kids are driven to school, door opening awareness is important. Children should not exit vehicles on the street side. Glove Box: Kirby asked last week about joggers running out in front of cars at an unmarked crosswalk. Pedestrian versus vehicle rules are unfortunately complicated. There’s at least 4 or 5 sections alone in our motor vehicle act covering it all.
