673 tickets written for school zone speeding in September, SGI says
SGI is revealing details from its September Traffic Safety Spotlight.
Last month, the focus was on school zone safety and SGI found police wrote 673 tickets for drivers speeding through school zones.
That number is less than half the number of speeders caught during last year’s focus on school zones, SGI says.
“Getting a school zone speeding ticket is even worse than getting sent to the principal’s office (20 km/h over the speed limit = a $310 ticket, plus three demerits), but the most important reason drivers need to slow down in school zones is to #KeepKidsSafe,” says SGI in a news release.
