The Chatham-Kent Police Service is reminding motorists that the first day of school brings with it an increase in traffic and pedestrians.
They are urging motorists to watch for children and decrease speed in the area of cross walks and school zones.
With school buses back on the road, all drivers must stop when approaching a stopped school bus with its upper red lights and stop arm flashing, regardless of the speed limit or number of lanes. Motorists failing to comply may be issued a $490 fine and six demerit points.
