Speeders caught in playground and school zones Friday morning
Red Deer RCMP is sending out a reminder to drivers to pay attention to posted speed limits as many Red Deer children returned to school this week.
On Friday morning, Mounties issued 17 tickets to speeders in both school and playground zones.
Corporal Michael Zufferli with Red Deer RCMP Traffic Unit said it’s up to everyone to do their part to ensure students get back to school safely.
“Drivers need to slow down in school zones, students need to pay attention when crossing streets and use crosswalks and traffic control devices, and parents need to coach their kids about traffic and pedestrian safety. Most importantly, pedestrians and drivers alike need to stay off mobile devices.”
