School is back in session!!

Drivers:
• Slow down in school zones: Children can be unpredictable and hard to see between parked cars.
• Stop for red lights on buses: Flashing red lights and the extended stop arm mean stop – it’s the law.
• Ditch the distractions: Phones down, especially when navigating neighborhood drop-off zones or busy crosswalks.

Pedestrians:
• Be visible: Use marked crosswalks whenever possible and make eye contact with drivers before stepping off the curb.
• Heads up, phones down: Keep your eyes off your device while crossing streets or walking through parking lots.
• Listen up: If you walk with headphones, keep the volume low or leave one ear free so you stay aware of traffic.

Let’s all do our part to keep neighborhood streets and crosswalks safe this school year. Together, we can drive Minnesota toward zero deaths.

🚨 E-BIKES, E-SCOOTERS & E-MOTOS — KNOW THE RULES 🚨

The Osseo Police Department has seen an increase in calls and questions regarding e-bikes, electric scooters, motorized bikes, and e-motos being operated in our community.

With the growing popularity of these devices, there has also been some confusion about who can operate them, where they can be ridden, speed limits, helmets, licensing, and what type of vehicle they actually are under Minnesota law.

So, we want to help set the record straight. 👇

📋 We’ve put together this quick-reference guide to help riders, parents, and community members better understand the rules and ride safely.

Take a look, share it with your family and friends, and most importantly — know what you're riding and know the rules that apply to it.

🚲🛴🏍️ Know the rules. Ride safely. Respect others.

Good Morning Osseo!

Back to school means yellow buses, extra morning traffic and busier neighborhood streets. When you’re racing against the clock to drop off the kids and make it to your morning meeting, it’s easy to let speed sneak up on you. Remember, a little preparation goes a long way toward keeping everyone safe.

Did You Know? (Fun Fact Time!)
• The "5 mph" myth: On an average 10-mile city commute, speeding 5 to 10 mph over the limit only saves you about 60 to 90 seconds. That extra minute isn’t worth a ticket or possible crash.
• School bus safety zone: Flashing yellow lights mean the bus is preparing to stop; flashing red lights mean stop immediately. Motorists must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying flashing red lights, regardless of whether the stop arm has been extended, when approaching from the rear and from the opposite direction on undivided roads. In Minnesota, passing a bus with flashing red lights carries a minimum $500 fine!

Outsmart the Rush: Pre-Trip Hacks for a Stress-Free Morning
• Prep night before: Outfit picks, lunch packing and backpack hunts are best handled before bed, not at 7:15 a.m.
• Know your route: Construction and adjusted school zones can pop up overnight – check your GPS before turning the key.
• Pad your schedule: Leaving 5 to 10 minutes earlier eliminates the panic when getting slowed down by unexpected red lights or traffic.

Planning ahead allows drivers to slow down, put distractions away – and stay focused on the road. Together, we can drive Minnesota toward zero deaths.
