The City of Prince Albert says residents can expect to see Bylaw Officers more visible in the city’s schools zones. They are educating and enforcing traffic rules.

Prince Albert city officials urge those travelling through school zones to watch for signage, specifically: No parking, bus loading zones, unloading zones, disability zone, crosswalk and no u-turns.

Bylaw Officers and Parking Inspectors will monitor school zones for illegally parked vehicles. They will be directing people to move out of those zones, and tickets will be issued if they don’t move their vehicles. If there is nobody in the vehicle, it will be ticketed immediately.

Signs to watch for:

No Parking areas mean no parking or stopping at all – these are not unloading zones and are designated no parking for safety reasons.
Bus Loading Zones – this area is only specific to busses, with no exceptions.
Unloading Zones – these areas are meant for drop-offs and pick-ups, not long-term parking.
Disability Zone – these spaces are designated for vehicles displaying the official Placard provided by Saskatchewan Abilities only.
Crosswalk – this area is designated as a crosswalk and cannot be blocked by vehicles – no stopping in these areas at all.
No U-Turns – there are no u-turns allowed in school zones at all.
