Back To School
As summer comes to a close and our kids head back to school, let’s remember that this means more little ones on the roads and school buses!
Here are some important safety tips to keep everyone safe:
Watch for Kids: Be extra vigilant in school zones and residential areas. Kids can be unpredictable, so always expect the unexpected!
Stop for School Buses: When the red lights are flashing, it’s not just a suggestion—it's the law! Always stop when you see a stopped school bus with its lights on.
Slow Down: Reduce your speed in school zones. Speed limits drop during school hours for a reason!
Be Mindful of Crosswalks: Always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and watch out for crossing guards directing traffic.
Limit Distractions: Keep your phone away and focus on the road. Distracted driving poses a significant risk to school children.
Encourage Safe Walking/Biking: Teach your kids to use sidewalks, designated bike lanes, and to always look both ways before crossing the street.
Let’s work together to ensure a safe and successful school year for our kids! fetyFirst
