Toronto police want to ensure the roads are safe and clear near schools zones for both children and pedestrians following the March Break.
Starting on Monday, parking enforcement Unit will be launching a one-week school safety campaign, which will see its officers monitoring for illegal parking near schools and strictly enforcing parking violations.
“Special attention will be given to no stopping and no parking zones, crosswalks, and school bus loading areas to help create a safer environment for students,” Toronto Police Service said in a news release.
The campaign will run until March 27.
“It is paramount that drivers prioritize the safety of our most vulnerable road users–schoolchildren and pedestrians,” police said.
They are urging drivers to plan ahead, allow extra time for drop-offs and pick-ups, and always choose safety over convenience.
