School Zones

The welfare and education of children are top priorities in our country. However, safety in school zones is becoming an increasing concern. The rising incidence of illegal driving practices, such as speeding, reckless driving, and disregard for traffic rules, poses a serious threat to the lives of students, teachers, and community members.

At JENOPTIK Smart Mobility Solutions, we understand how important it is to provide students with a safe way to get to schools. Our mission is to provide innovative solutions to the pressing problems in school zones across Canada.

The Alarming Reality

• Speeding is a serious problem of accidents in school zones or on the way to school, resulting in injuries and fatalities.
• Distractions at the wheel, such as texting or talking on the phone, are steadily increasing and endanger pedestrians and other road users.
• Disregard for traffic rules, including failing to stop at pedestrian crossings or parking in no-parking zones, is a persistent problem.

Our Solutions - School Zone Speed Cameras

Speeding in school zones puts children in extreme danger. The speed a car travels through a school zone is a crucial factor: The survival rate if hit by a vehicle decreases from 90 to 20 percent when being hit by a vehicle travelling 50 km/h instead of 30 km/h (Source: Road Safety Information by www.carsp.ca)
To make school zones a safer place for students, speeds must be controlled. Jenoptik’s highly advanced traffic systems change driver behavior. They significantly reduce accidents in our communities.

Together, we can create a safer and more responsible driving culture in Canada. By working together, we can:

• Raise awareness of the importance of safety in school zones.
• Support the implementation of effective safety measures such as Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems.
• Promote community engagement and education on road safety.
