So far this year, the Surrey RCMP criminal collision investigative team has investigated 20 serious traffic crashes involving eight deaths and 12 people suffering life-threatening or serious injuries. Two of those killed were pedestrians. In White Rock, RCMP volunteers have been tying yellow ribbons of police tape around signposts in an effort to remind drivers to slow down. “Many more children are on the road each morning and afternoon and it demands that all drivers change their driving patterns and be vigilant,� said Const. Janelle Shoihet of the White Rock RCMP. The Delta Police are also patrolling school zones, said Sgt. Ciaran Feenan. “We’ve got a presence out there. We want the kids to get back to school in a safe manner.� The 30-km/h speed limit in school zones is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and in playground zones the 30-km/h limit runs from dusk to dawn, all year.
