The City of Calgary is hoping drivers will see the signs and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, especially around schools.

Before the end of this school year, in-street school crosswalk signs will be installed around all schools that include Grade 6 or lower in Calgary.

The bright yellow signs signal to drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

Under Alberta traffic laws, pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk unless a peace officer or device controlling traffic provides a different direction.

Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk can result in a $810 fine and four demerit points
