New Rules at Pedestrian Crossovers & School Crossings

Tuesday, January 5, 2016

Starting January 1st, 2016, drivers (including cyclists) must stop and yield the whole roadway at:

  • pedestrian crossovers; and,
  • at school crossings where there is a crossing guard displaying a school crossing stop sign.

    These rules apply at pedestrian crossovers identified with specific signs, road markings and lights – the new rules do not apply to pedestrian crosswalks at intersections with stop signs or traffic signals, unless a school crossing guard is present.

    You can find a helpful diagram showing the different types of crossovers and crosswalks in the frequently asked questions section of the page.
