A warning to students and motorists in the area of St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School in LaSalle.

Police say they have received a number of complaints about speeders on roads near the high school.

"It was during certain times of day that people were driving that seemed to coincide with going to and coming home from Villanova as well as during the lunch hours there," says Senior Const. Terry Seguin.

According to LaSalle police, the number of driving complaints has increased 64 per cent over the last five years. The percentage of motor vehicle collisions involving injuries has also increased overall.

Another location of concern is Morton Drive between Matchette Road and Front Road as motorists try to avoid spring road construction on other routes.

Seguin tells AM800 News they will increase enforcement near the school and throughout the municipality.

He adds there have also been complaints about garbage being thrown out of car windows.
