As the school year kicks off, it's a hectic time for kids and families. Let's make sure the trip to school is safe!
For Pedestrians:
- *Sidewalks:* Always use the sidewalk when available. If there isn't one, walk on the edge of the street facing oncoming traffic.
- *Crossing Safely:* Use marked crosswalks and check for vehicles and cyclists in both directions before crossing.
- *Avoid Mid-Street Crossings:* Never cross in the middle of the street; always go to the nearest intersection or crosswalk.
- *Stay Alert:* Don’t play or push others while near traffic.
- *Avoid Distractions:* Keep your eyes on the road—put away phones and other distractions.
