Everyone 'knows that this is beautiful time of the year,
with the vivid colours,of our trees in Goderich..But.! with
MO leaves falling to the ground this can create several
hazards. With the leaves on the roadway this may cause
the .streets to become very slippery. Motorists must pay
extra: attention as your vehicle will not Nave the same
stpoping ability as on dry pavement. . '
LEAVES -'Parents should caution your children mot to
play in piles of leaves that'have been gathered4f the
sides of the streets. In the event that a vehicle iriay drive
through'these leaves, this could, cause serious fatal
injuries tb. your. child. Also children. should be advised of
the dangers, of jumping into piles of leaves incase there
are foreign objects hidden by the leaves. 't
Residents of the Town of Goderich. are reminded of the
' Municipal By -Law governingthat it is an offence to burn
' leaves. Persons violating this by-law are liable to'a tine
of not less than $5 and not more than $25.
Definition.of burning - Town By -Law. No person shall
light., ignite or start a fire of any,kind whatssheevenin the
-'open air within the limits of the Town Of Godekichfor the
purpose -of burning leaves, rubbish or any other material
without first obtaining written perinission from the Chief
of the Goderich Fire Department.
This by-law excludes a barbecue for the purpose 'of
cooking, and an ^ appliance used in .construction or
maintenance -which requires an open flame. •
Motorists must also. realize that with "OLD MAN
FROST " upon us this causes .many driving hazards such.
'as your vehicle windows being covered with frost. The
Highway Traffic Act requires that drivers are respon-
•sible for assuring" that the windshield and front side
windows are cleared and that the rear window is,
• cleared or that your vehicle is equipped with a mirror or
mirrors in gooa conattion to, afford tie driver a clearly
reflected view ofthe roadway to the rear or any vehicle
approaching from the rear. Remember that even though
you have the frost off your windows; it is still' on the
-- pavement and this causes slippery,driving conditions..
' LET'S BE SAFE NOT SORRY!
SCHOOL BUSES
BY. O.P.P. CONST. R.W. WILSON
We 'are well into the 76-77 school year. now. The
evidence of this is seen each school day, nt'orning and
' afternoon,. when the large..chrorne yellow school buses
use our highway to transport- our children to and from
v^ school.
The precious load these vehicles carry is the most
• important thing in most of our lives. Yet we, as
motorists, still endanger their lives.
It seems even in our remote County, free of the large
city type hustle and bustle,. we still have most motorists
rushing on our highways, many -times to go no where in
particular, over the speed limit. They find it annoying to.
wait behind, a school bus taking on or discharging our
children. -
People, who are annoyed at being slowed downby a
school bus or any. other slow- moving vehicle on the high-
way (including sight seeing motorists)., get frustrated
especially when oncoming traffic leaves not quite enough
• room. to pass this doddling'vehicle. Dangerous chances
-are then taken toget around the vehicle sometimes
causing head on collisions, peopie being forced off the.
road, and even passing an the right (driving off onto the
shoulder).• Any of these situations involving the slow
vehicle being overtaken could result in an accident. If it
was a school bus, think of the little people who would be
injured or killed. One of them may be your son or your
• daughter.
In an effort to reduce the. possibility of a school bus
accident, 'we encourage all motorists to think of the
pt~,ecious cargo carried by the schoolbusPLEASE don't
take your frustrations out on our children. •
Thinking along these.sarne lines, but now to the school.
bus driver, we urge that when possible, thinking of
safety, you take a few seconds after a pick up and drive
onto a hard shoulder to let any build up of traffic pass in
anattempt to prevent accidents by frustrated motorists.
I hope it is understood by the motoring ,public that
when a schoolbus alternating red lights are flashing, and
the school bus is still moving, the lights are a warning to
you that the bus is about to stop. You may pass darefully
at this time. You MUST STQP when the lights are
flashing and the school bus is STOPPED -- anywhere. '
