If You're Not in the Business of Running Over School Children...

One of my ultimate supreme pet peeves are people who do not slow down in school zones.  I, being someone that lives on a road where the school zones are in effect all day long, witness the sheer ignorance of drivers during 95% of the drives I have whilst in this zone designated for school.

 There are an alarming number of misinformed drivers out there that think that school zone hours are still the same as when they first wrote their drivers test.  WRONG!

According to the City of Calgary Traffic Tips Booklet, school zones are in effect for the full 730 - 1700.  That's 8.5 hours, Monday to Friday during the school year.  Not those three separate times in the morning, during lunch, and when schools out.

So for those who have been confused, may know someone who is confused, or would like to bring your car to an abupt stop to step out of your vehicle and tell the person behind you who is riding your ass to go fist themselves because you're going 30 km/h, now you are fully educated on this matter can be confident that it you who is in the right.
