Back to School Traffic Safety
Many children will be excited and eager to return to school to see their friends and teachers over the next few days. The Peterborough Police Service Traffic Unit will be out this week providing enforcement and education to motorists
As a reminder, all speeds around the schools are reduced to 40 km/h on the main roads and 30 km/h on more residential roads where pick up and drop offs can occur. As these are identified as Community Safety Zones, fines are doubled.
