South Shore schools open for classes on Thursday. The first day of school in September after summer vacation is considered one of the busiest days of the year. For motorists, they have to be extra cautious. The RCMP's media liason officer, Sgt. Brigdit Leger, says one of the biggest changes this year for motorists is in school zones.
However, Leger says drivers have to be careful everywhere and expect the unexpected.
Leger says motorists need to slow down not only in school zones but everywhere else too where kids are seen along streets and on sidewalks.
