The Caledon and Dufferin Detachments of the OPP are reminding motorists to exercise extra caution as students return to school today.
With the return of students comes an increase in pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic in and around school zones. Children may be excited to return to school and may not always be aware of their surroundings. Motorists are asked to remain alert, slow down and watch carefully for children walking and cycling to and from school.
Police will be out in full force before and after school hours.
Officers will be conducting enhanced patrols in and around school zones, monitoring traffic and enforcing the rules of the road. Motorists can expect an increased police presence throughout Caledon and Dufferin County and are reminded that getting to their destination safely is more important than getting there quickly.
