Winnipeg Police Service News Release

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011   SPRING BREAK ROAD SAFETY As the warmer weather approaches, the Winnipeg Police Service would like to remind motorists the importance of the safety of our children as they go about their activities during Spring Break.   Children can be unpredictable around roadways and therefore motorists are requested to reduce their speeds and pay extra attention to areas in which children may be present.    Parents and guardians, please talk to your child about traffic safety and teach them when and where it is safest to cross the street, while stressing the importance of using crosswalks whenever possible.  Children should visually scan potential dangerous areas such as parking lots and driveways for vehicles.   Parents, guardians and other motorists should consider the volume and speed of the traffic in your area.  Be mindful of children in the area and pay particular attention near schools, shopping malls and playgrounds as children could dart from between vehicles at any time.   Please remember, Just Slow Down and enjoy your Spring Break.     For further information contact either: Constable Natalie Aitken, Public Information Officer Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer Office: (204)986-3061 Fax: (204) 986-3267 Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca   Web: www.winnipeg.ca/Police
