School Zone Safety Rules HOW TO BE THE MOST ENVIED DRIVER ON CAMPUS
GET A TUNE UP The arrival of school season is the perfect impetus to get your vehicle serviced. Make sure the mechanic checks the tire pressure, fluid levels, and air conditioning system before you leave the shop. If you’re going to be driving kids to and from school every day, you want to have a car you can depend on. WATCH THE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS School zones have reduced speed limits for good reason. Some have a round-the- clock limit that you’ll need to observe regardless of whether school’s in session, while others use flashing lights to indicate the times when the speed is reduced. Regardless of the type of school zone you’re in, there is no need to exceed the posted speed limit, and pretending you “didn’t see the sign” isn’t an excuse. KEEP YOUR HEAD ON A SWIVEL It’s always prudent to remain alert when driving, but never more so than when you’re in or around a school zone. Children don’t understand the rules of the road the way adults do. As such, they can behave erratically and move into dangerous areas in a split second. Don’t ever assume you know what a child will do. Instead, stay vigilant and only continue when you know it’s safe to do so.
When you’re making a back-to-school checklist, what comes to mind? In addition to basics like picking up supplies and making sure your little ones have a new outfit for the first day, don’t forget to give your vehicle and driving habits an end-of-summer refresh. According to national safety organization Safe Routes to School, the percentage of children riding the bus has been declining steadily since the mid ‘80s. With far more cars in the carpool line, it’s important to practice cautious, defensive driving in school zones. To do that, follow our back-to-school checklist for your car.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Psalm 31:24 “Be strong and let your heart take courage.” Good News
