Back-to-School Safety Tips


Start Your School Year Safely


Follow these back-to-school safety tips and start the school year off right:

  • Wake Up!
    Increased morning traffic may increase your commute. Consider leaving home earlier to ensure you reach your destination on time.

  • Watch!
    Be sure to watch for children crossing or standing near the street, waiting for the bus.

  • Stop!
    Come to a complete stop when bus signs are on. Don’t move forward until the sign is completely retracted and turned off.

  • Slow Down!
    School zones are now active. Make sure to observe the posted speed and watch for children crossing the street.

  • Obey!
    When you approach a school zone, look for a crossing guard and obey his or her signals.
