School zone rumble strip testing is underway in Moose Jaw.

 

If you've been through some of Moose Jaw's busier school zones lately you may have noticed a new feature.

The City of Moose Jaw has installed rumble strips in 5 schools zones to bring attention to the fact that drivers have entered a school zone in case they miss the signs.

City Engineer Ryan Johnson assures us these strips are to encourage safety are will not damage you vehicle. "They’ve actually basically routed out the strips in small patches... all it does is bring awareness to the driver that 'oh by the way, you're going through a school zone."

These test strips will be in place for one year around King George, Empire, Riverview, Peacock, and William Grayson Schools.
