Back to school

School is back from summer vacation next week, which means that all school zones will be in effect starting Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

School zones are in effect Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and playground zones continue to be in effect seven days a week from dawn until dusk.

The Powell River RCMP would like to remind all drivers and bike riders of the following:

• the speed limit in a school zone is 30km/hr;
• vehicles and bikes must come to a complete stop at stop signs and at occupied crosswalks;
• vehicles and bikes must stop when the lights on a school bus are flashing yellow or red and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the bus starts to move.

Police encourage everyone to take extra precautions when driving in any area where children may be crossing the road.
