White Lake Resident Concerned About School Zone Signs

I’m just writing to question the effectiveness and safety of the school speed limit signs along Bogie Lake Road as you approach , and from the north and south. As the signs read right now, there are at least six different time periods with obscure times listed on them, such as 6:49 a.m. – 7:17 a.m. I travel to the schools each morning as a passenger and I try to read them to see if we are in the specified times and I can’t, that is when I am a passenger – NOT a driver. I can’t imagine a driver being able to process what those signs say. I would suggest more rounded times such as 7–9 a.m. and 2–4 p.m. That, I think, drivers could read and process. This would help in safety and compliance. Just a suggestion from someone who is concerned about my children’s safety.

Thank you for your time,

Angela Pomerleau

Chief Edward Harris: Angela, thanks you for your question. I understand your concerns. The signs as well as the times listed are installed and controlled by the road commission. I believe the times that are listed are provided to the road commission by the school district.

I will make an attempt to relay the information in your email to the road commission.

Thank you,

Edward Harris
