Happy St. Patrick's Day from the KRA. And for those who celebrate, we wish you a Happy Easter.
Safety First
Earlier this year, a child was injured while crossing the street, thankfully the individual only received minor injuries. This incident serves as a reminder for both pedestrians and drivers to share the road equally, and to be mindful, especially during the dark morning hours.
If you have wondered why school buses do not use flashing red lights and crossing arms when children are getting on and off busses, a city bylaw prohibits this. In 1986, the city amended its traffic bylaw. In it's decision the city cited marked crosswalks and intersections. Motorists generally expect pedestrians to cross the street at these locations. and school children are taught to properly use them. The use of flashing red lights and stop arms on buses encourages children to cross the street mid-block instead, wherever the bus has stopped to load or unload passengers.
