The new Community Safety Zone in the west end of Fort Frances goes into effect today.
Drivers caught for such things as speeding or running red lights in the area can face a doubling of fines.
Constable Anne McCoy says OPP will be paying close attention there.
"The Community Safety Zone is an enforcement pillar, a tool officers can use at their discretion in order to do some enforcement within the school zones," says McCoy. "WE want people to be aware there's lot of school kids in that area."
The zone will remain in effect until the end of June.
