Manitoba’s annual School Bus Safety Week program is upon us as the province observes the event during the third full week of October.

Motorists in Manitoba will be reminded with a new set of highway signs they are required to ‘Slow Down, Move Over’ when passing roadside emergency scenes and police activity.

This week is Road Safety Week across the country, a national campaign to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world.

For the first four months of 2019, pedestrians made up nearly half – six of 14 people – of the fatalities on Manitoba’s public roadways, according to Manitoba Public Insurance.
