With school now in full swing, we'd like to offer some quick reminders about how to safely navigate school traffic zones.
* Be on the lookout for school zone signals and ALWAYS obey the speed limits.
* When entering a school zone, be sure to slow down and obey all traffic laws.
* Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading children.
* Watch for school crossing guards and obey their signals.
* Be aware of and watch for children near schools, bus stops, sidewalks, in the streets, in school parking lots, etc.
* Never pass other vehicles while driving in a school zone.
* Never change lanes while driving in a school zone.
* Never make a u-turn while driving in a school zone.
* Never text while driving in a school zone.
* Avoid using a cell phone, unless it is completely hands-free, while driving in a school zone.
* Unless licensed to do so, never use handicap or emergency vehicle lanes or spaces to drop off or pick up a child at school.
