Local police are issuing a few safety reminders as kids return to school.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police Constable Ashley Nickle urges parents and students to talk to each other about being safe going to and from school.
Constable Nickle also urges drivers to follow the rules of the road, especially through residential areas and school zones.
That increased traffic also includes school buses, and Constable Nickle reminds drivers to follow rules near buses.
Constable Nickle notes a first time offence can still mean a fine of $400 to $2000, and any school bus driver or witness can report a vehicle that failed to stop.
