Safe Roads
The Safe Roads Program integrates and uses the 5 'E' approach: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Engagement, and Evaluation into one framework to maximize key resources. This is done by working together with partners to:
- Reduce crashes.
- Create a safer road network.
- Raise the profile of road safety in the community.
School is Back in Session!
School zones are busy places with children, parents, cars and buses. 
Here are some easy tips to help keep everyone safe:
- Slow down to 30km/hr in school zones between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm.
- Expect the unexpected: look out for safety risks such as children darting from cars.
- When a school bus flashes its red lights, stop no matter which way you're driving.
- Mornings can be busy for us all, so give yourself extra time to safely arrive where you need to be.
