Speeders beware in Ottawa school zones gŏđŏ

tary and high school grounds in a hurry to get somewhere else. A transportation committee report rec- ommends that the City of Ottawa lobby Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca for amendments to the Highway Tra!c Act to double the "nes levied against drivers speeding through posted school zones. The recommendation comes with one condi- tion, advising council to wait and see if the provincial government reintroduces the Keeping Ontario’s Roads Safe Act now that Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals have a majority at Queens Park. The committee report noted that there
are more than 300 schools within the City of Ottawa and its suburbs and that “pedestri- an and cycling safety for children in school zones has been an ongoing priority”for City Hall and council. The Highway Tra!c Act (HTA) allows for doubling the "nes for speeding through posted construction zones and commu- nity safety zones. Both the committee and city council agree that the same penalty in- crease should apply to speeding in a post school zone. The report noted that declar- ing and posting such areas as community safety zones could accomplish the same thing but it would “add signage clutter, be
very costly, and detract from the promi- nence of school area signage, potentially decreasing safety” while an amendment to the HTA would be simpler and easier. For now all depends on whether or not the government reintroduces the Keeping Ontario’s Roads Safe Act which died on the table when the legislature dissolved for the past spring election in Ontario. If the legisla- tion or something similar is introduced dur- ing the current or next session of the leg- islature then the City of Ottawa will lobby the transportation minister for changes to the HTA to double the "nes for speeding through posted school zones.

OTTAWA | Ottawa city council wants to bring the hammer down hard on lead- footed drivers who ignore school zone warning signs and just roar past elemen-
The last weeks of summer are here now and the OPP is making a big push to make people more aware of boating safety, in- cluding keeping any alcohol below deck. The OPP is sending out public service an- nouncements focusing on use of lifejackets and other personal #oatation devices (PFD) during boating excursions and also advi- sories urging boaters to avoid indulging in alcohol while in charge of a vessel. “The majority of boating fatality victims recovered in OPP marine investigations this season would have likely survived had they been wearing a lifejacket or PFD,” states an OPP press release. The new campaign includes use of the Internet to spread the message. Three new public service announcements (PSA) are now posted on YouTube to get the message out to along with regular radio and news- paper notices. The Internet promotion link is at www. opp.ca/media/pfd/PSA_WaterSafety. The OPP are also urging boaters to be more responsible about having alcohol on board. Statistics for the summer season so far this year indicate alcohol was a factor in almost half of the 18 boating fatalities under investigation in Ontario. The OPP, in partnership with the Canadian Safe Boating Council and other law-enforcement agen- cies, remind both Ontario residents and visitors that boating safety is not just the responsibility of the person at the wheel or tiller. “We are all responsible for safety, as boa- ters, cottagers, guests, as well as marina sta$,” stated Chief Superintendent Chuck Cox, OPP highway safety division. “Strongly encourage your family and friends to not mix drinking and boating before they head out, and report impaired boaters to police.” Under Ontario boating regulations, open alcohol is allowed on board only on boats which have permanent sleeping, cooking, and washroom facilities built as part of the original design, and only when those boats are either docked or moored at anchor. Im- paired boating, or having open alcohol on board while the boat is moving on the wa- ter, are both subject to the same penalties as impaired driving or having open liquor inside a vehicle.
