Local police are issuing a few safety reminders as kids ready to return to school.
OPP Constable Ashley Nickle asks everyone to "be a little more careful", with a special message for parents.
Constable Nickle also has advice for kids heading to and from school.
Constable Nickle also reminds drivers to give themselves more time to get where they're going - staying particularly careful in school zones or near pedestrian crosswalks - and be prepared for more vehicle and pedestrian traffic, particularly school buses.
Constable Nickle notes bus drivers or any other witness can report a vehicle that failed to stop, and assures Superior East OPP will be conducting extra patrols in school zones over this month, ensuring all road users are following the rules of the road and staying safe.
