Reduced speed limits in Winnipeg school zones back in effect Friday

Friday, the first day in September, is a notable date on the calendar — especially if you’re a Winnipeg driver.

As of Sept. 1, reduced speed limits in school zones around the city go back into effect, even though many school divisions won’t be starting classes until later next week.

Drivers who don’t adhere to the 30 km/h limits in school zones from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every weekday could find themselves saddled with a hefty traffic ticket.
