The Cobourg Police Service and Town of Cobourg By-law Officers will be enforcing no stopping in front of the Cobourg Collegiate Institute along King Street East during, before and after school hours. Cobourg Collegiate Institute is located at 335 King Street East in the Town of Cobourg.
Police will be actively watching the school area during the first week back. All safety laws will be enforced including the no stopping law as more parents cause traffic interruptions while dropping off their kids in front of the building.
This initiative is about student and traffic safety. This traffic enforcement effort is to educate drivers that illegally stopping in no stopping zones results in traffic congestion which causes increased dangers to students, other pedestrians, and drivers.
Stopping a vehicle legally not only improves the flow of traffic, it shows consideration for all other users of the roadway and makes our streets safer.
The Town of Cobourg By-law section 14, Stopped in a signed no stopping area carries a fine of $40.
The Cobourg Police Service would like to thank our partners from the Town of Cobourg By-Law enforcement and members of the community for helping to keep our community safe.
