Police Service Remind The Public
There have been a couple of accidents involving motor vehicles and pedestrians this month. The Sault Ste Marie Police Service would like to remind the public that pedestrians should use the walkways when crossing city streets. Motorists need to pay extra attention in the areas of intersections as the pedestrians may not always cross at the intersection and cross further down the road. This time of year the roads are slick and motorists cannot stop as quickly as they could in dry conditions. Pedestrians and motorist alike need to obey the rules of the road.
