SAFE SCHOOL ZONE PRACTICES FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN
As the new school year approaches, you can expect to see increased traffic around schools. That is why practicing safe driving habits while taking your children to and from school is vital. We know it’s easy to be preoccupied with busy drop-off and pick-up lines, new schedules, after-school activities, and other distractions. However, drivers must always stay alert and observant, especially around schools. Whether walking your child to the entrance or dropping them off in the pickup line, it’s important always to demonstrate awareness of your surroundings. Put away potential distractions like cell phones and focus solely on the road and pedestrian activity, obeying all traffic signals. When driving, prepare to stop at any time and adhere to speed limits within school zones to prevent potential collisions. Prioritize every child’s safety as if they were your own!
