School classes in Rivers will resume on Sept. 8 and Rivers Police Service would like to remind motorists to be on the look out for bicycles and pedestrians going to and coming from school. Young children may forget pedestrian rules, so keep a watchful eye on these small ones who may unexpectedly dart in front of traffic to cross the street. Cyclists will be prevalent, so drivers are again cautioned to anticipate sudden moves from those on bikes.
