Please Keep Intersections Clear |
Driving your student to their neighborhood school? If you get to an intersection and cannot clear it, please wait until the cars in front of you move forward. It is against the law to block an intersection, and your choice to wait improves school area safety, neighborhood traffic flow, and emergency response times. Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe! |
