Back to school road safety stressed by Kamloops Mounties
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Mounties are asking the public to familiarize themselves with the rules of the road as students are preparing to return to classrooms on Tuesday.
“If you haven’t already started thinking about this coming Tuesday, please take a moment to appreciate that our roadways typically get busier once the summer ends and routines start back up again,” said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson.
Along with reviewing general safety tips, it’s also important for families to familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations of the roadway as they relate to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.
“In June, we saw new regulations introduced in BC which include minimum safe passing distances for driving around vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians,” said Cpl. Evelyn.
