The Shaunavon RCMP have received complaints of drivers not stopping for pedestrians who are crossing in designated crosswalks in the community.

Back in June of 2020, to assist drivers in seeing pedestrians, The Town of Shaunavon installed flashing solar powered Crosswalk Signs along Center Street.

These crosswalk signs are installed at Fifth Avenue and Center Street, at Center Street and Sixth Avenue, and Center Street and Seventh Avenue.

These signs enable people crossing Center Street to push a button that will start a flashing light warning to drivers.

Motorists are reminded that you must come to a complete stop and allow the pedestrian to cross when the lights are flashing.

Also remember at any other crosswalk at an intersection you must always yield the right of way to pedestrians who are crossing the street.
