Road safety becomes a concern as Portage kids head back to school today.

Constable Dave Spakowski of the RCMP wants to remind motorists the posted speed may not always be the safest.

Though school zones may be posted at 50 KM/H Spakowski advises drivers to slow down.

 He adds motorists must be aware of the increase of bikes and students walking.

Meanwhile he says parents must re-educate their kids when it comes to riding their bikes to school.
