With the ongoing teachers’ strike, many residents have asked whether school zone speed limits are still in effect. Yes, they remain in effect as some schools continue to offer programming, such as pre-kindergarten classes, so students are still present. These measures are in place to protect the safety and wellbeing of everyone in the community.
Please remember to:
- Drive cautiously in residential areas – 30 km/h in school zones
- Watch for children playing or walking nearby
- Be mindful of picket lines and gatherings near schools
- Always yield to pedestrians and obey traffic signs
Playground zones are always in effect, every day of the year! Thank you for doing your part to keep Okotoks safe.
