Students will be returning to school on Sept. 7. Some road safety tips to keep in mind

**** HRM Media Release Students will be returning to school on Sept. 7. Some road safety tips to keep in mind: - Remember to slow down and scan the street and sidewalk when approaching crosswalks and intersections. - Crosswalks exist on all legs of an intersection, whether marked or unmarked. - You must stop whenever you approach a stopped school bus with its upper alternating red lights flashing, regardless of whether you are behind the bus or approaching it from the front. - Be prepared to stop for a school bus at any time, not just within school hours. - Reduce your speed when entering a school zone. Follow the school zone speed limit anytime children are present, not just during school hours
