🚸 Back-to-School Safety: Slow Down in School Zones! 🚸
As a new school year begins, let’s all do our part to keep students safe. Whether you’re a parent, student, or commuter—these safety tips matter:
🔹 Slow Down – Always obey posted school zone speed limits. Children are unpredictable—drive with extra caution.
🔹 No Distractions – Stay off your phone. A moment of distraction can lead to tragedy.
🔹 Watch for Crosswalks – Yield to crossing guards and students. Never block crosswalks.
🔹 Stop for Buses – It’s the law: stop when school buses have flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended.
🔹 Follow Drop-Off Rules – Each school has specific procedures. Be patient and respectful of staff and other parents.
🔹 Be Alert for Bicyclists and Pedestrians – Especially in early mornings and afternoons when visibility and traffic are at their peak.
🔹 Leave Earlier – School traffic can slow your routine—leaving a few minutes early reduces stress and prevents risky behavior.
Let’s work together to make this school year safe for everyone. 🚦👮‍♂️🚌
