Tip
of the Week
Back to School Traffic
Safety
Children of all
ages are returning back to school, and with students going back to school,
traffic congestion will be increased on the road and drivers will need to be
extra cautious. Whether in a school zone or a residential neighborhood,
drivers need to remember to slow down and be prepared to stop. The speed limit in
school zones and residential neighborhoods is 25 miles per hour, unless posted
otherwise; some school zones may have speed limits as low as 15 miles per hour.
Always stop for
school buses. Flashing yellow lights on a school bus indicate it is preparing
to stop to load or unload children, and drivers should slow down and prepare to
stop. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped,
and children are getting on and off. Drivers are required to stop their
vehicles and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is
withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again. The
greatest risk to children is not riding on the bus, but getting on and off the
bus.
Always drive more carefully near schools, playgrounds,
parks, and residential areas because children may suddenly dart into the street
from between parked cars and other objects along the roadway. Also, many
children have not yet developed the ability to judge speeds and distances well
enough to cross streets safely when cars are moving fast. Drivers need to stay
alert and obey traffic signs, especially where children may be present. Slow down and stay alert to help
keep children safe!
