The City of Salmon Arm and the Neskonlith Indian Band are urging drivers to slow down near the Switzmalph Child Care Centre and StrongStart program.
The City put out a reminder online saying speeding has been a concern in this area.
“This location is used daily by young children, families, caregivers, and children can move quickly and unexpectedly, especially during drop-off and pick-up times,” their statement read.
They added that safety is a responsibility that everyone must carry with them when driving, saying reduced speeds give drivers more time to react and prevent injuries.
Therefore, new speed reader signs have been installed as a reminder to slow down and drive safely when passing a childcare centre and learning programs.
