WINNIPEG — City drivers aren't getting the message when it comes to safety in school zones.
During a stakeout on Wednesday in three Winnipeg school zones, CAA Manitoba, Winnipeg police, along with teachers and parent volunteers, witnessed 819 instances of risky behaviours.
"No matter what time of year, the route to school should always start with safety," said Liz Kulyk, corporate manager of government and community relations at CAA Manitoba.
Teams observed drivers between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. outside Ecole Henri-Bergeron, Linden Meadows and Stevenson-Britannia School.
During that time, 87 motorists were clocked driving over 30 km/h in marked school zones. Other infractions include 203 stopping violations at a crosswalk or stop sign, and 22 lane change issues, such as non-signalling or not turning into the correct lane.
