It’s the first day of school! Drivers are reminded that there will be more children out on the roads as students head back to class.
Watch carefully for children walking to school, riding their bikes, or crossing the street. Slow down in school zones and residential areas, and be prepared to stop at any time.
Drivers should also be extra careful around school buses. Remember to watch for flashing lights and follow the rules when buses stop to pick up or drop off students.
A little extra patience and attention can go a long way in helping students get to and from school safely.
