REMINDER: PEDESTRIAN CROSSOVER LAW ONTARIO
By now most of us are aware of the new Ontario crossover law that says:
Drivers (including cyclists) must stop and yield the whole roadway at pedestrian crossovers, school crossings and other locations where there is a crossing guard.
Only when pedestrians and school crossing guards have crossed and are safely on the sidewalk can drivers and cyclists proceed. |
These new rules do not apply to pedestrian crosswalks at intersections with stop signs or traffic signals, unless a school crossing guard is present.
View the comparison graphic below to learn the differences.
 
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?
Drivers will be fined $150 to $500 and 3 demerit points for offences at pedestrian crossings, school crossings and at crosswalks where there are traffic signals. The maximum fine for running a red light - a practice that puts pedestrians at risk - is $200 to $1000.
Fines are doubled in Community Safety Zones, near schools and public areas. These areas are clearly marked with signs.
