Library Quote of the Week

CST CURTI’S TIP OF THE WEEK
Do you want to be that next person lying on a stretcher?
No!!! well OK. Then why stand in the middle of the road or cross the road when cars are coming at you? There must be an alternative. Luckily there is!!
- Stay on the sidewalk where it’s safer.
- If you are not at a controlled intersection, then don’t cross the road when vehicles are coming your way.
In section 223 (3) of the Traffic Safety Act it says, “No pedestrian shall leave a curb or other place of safety and proceed into the path of a vehicle on a highway that is so close that it is impracticable for the driver to yield the right of way” Which is a $70 fine.
The research I’ve done has different fines for different cities.
Section 214(1) of the Traffic Safety Act say’s - No person shall: whether or not with the use or aid of any vehicle or other thing, perform or engage in any stunt or activity on a highway that is likely to distract, startle or interfere with other users of the highway. (Also known as stunting). $150. If you know you know!! Cst Tony Curti
