There may be no school, but school zones will remain over the break. Speed limits continue to be in effect around elementary schools in Winnipeg.

School zone speed limits are still in effect, even though school does not run Monday, December 25 until Friday, January 5, 2018.

According to By-Law 76/2014, a maximum speed of 30 kilometres per hour will be in effect at designated school zones between 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., from Monday to Friday, September until June. There is no break during the Christmas season.

Reduced-speed school zones apply to streets that border private or public schools which include grade six or lower and are not regional streets.

Many schools have rinks or community centres nearby, so kids will still be out on the street. One tip the Winnipeg Police Service has for drivers is taking a look underneath parked vehicles while driving. Constable Chris Wingfield said you can see children's feet and slow down before you reach them.
