attention | Traffic Safety

Our patrol teams have been hard at work for 3 full weeks now!

Patrol staff supervisors have been busy helping parents understand the expectations while CNG Patrols are outside. We have chatted with many parents about traffic infractions that put our students’ safety at risk.

Starting Tuesday Oct. 13, vehicles/drivers that are not respecting the rules of the road or not obeying patrollers, will be written up and license plates will be recorded. Patrol staff supervisors will complete an AMA Vehicle Report form and concerns will be forwarded onto Calgary Police Services, who will follow up and take any necessary action.

Tickets & fines for traffic violations include:


1) Fail to obey stop sign before entering intersection: $287

2) Fail to yield to pedestrian in crosswalk intersection: $172

3) Fail to stop before entering crosswalk: $115

4) Turn left unsafely: $115

5) Speeding through a school zone: $57-177

6) Passing another vehicle in a school zone: $172

7) Making a U-Turn: $115

Please note that there is a no stopping zone in front of the school, once you get through our U-intersection. This is reserved for school buses – parents cannot stop to drop off/pick up kids here. It backs traffic up through our intersection and creates a very unsafe situation. Please pull forward, past the staff parking lots, to where it is safe to stop.

Please slow down, follow the rules of the road and keep our students’ safety in the forefront of your mind, when driving past our school.

 

Keeping our 961 students safe is our priority – thank you for your support of this program!
