The crackdown took place a block-and-a-half from the school, but Saskatoon police said it is not a signage issue.
“The school zones in Saskatoon where we do see a lot of tickets issued tend to be out of the residential areas,” Saskatoon police spokesperson Julie Clark said.
“Those two schools zones, which happen to be on 20th Street as well as 33rd Street, they’ve been there for decades so drivers should be getting used to these school zones by now.”
