TPS begins week-long pedestrian safety campaign Monday

Police will launch a week-long pedestrian safety campaign Monday morning to coincide with the newly darkened mornings and evenings of November and Standard Time. They call it Step Up and Be Safe. The release notes that police “will be paying particular attention to those motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians who commit offences in the vicinity of pedestrian crossovers, crosswalks, intersections, school zones (particularly primary schools) and crossing areas frequented by seniors. Pedestrians are encouraged to avoid using distracting electronic devices when about to interact with vehicular traffic.”  Release
