As a motorist:

* Be patient, especially with older pedestrians who need more time to cross the road;
* Always look for pedestrians, especially when turning;
* Remember, stay alert and slow down on residential streets and through school zones.
Breaking the law can be costly. Fines for offences at pedestrian crossings, school crossings, and at crosswalks where there are traffic signals are $150 and 3 demerit points. All fines are double ($300) in Community Safety Zones near schools and public areas.
