Walking is a great way to burn off some extra energy before the school day starts! Remember to walk facing traffic, cross at crosswalks, and never cross between cars.

Even if no one in your household is going back to school, it's a good idea to review the rules around school zones.

🚸Not all school zones have flashing lights, so be extra careful when approaching them.
🚸If you don't know if school is in session, slow down!
🚸Always watch for bikers and walkers and try to anticipate their actions.
🚸Don't multitask while driving.
🚸Look for pedestrians before turning.

Traffic going BOTH WAYS must stop for a school bus. This includes any turn lanes. Always watch for children as you continue traveling through an area where students have been dropped off.

Is your teen driving themselves to school for the first time this year?

Set a good example for the future drivers in your life by always wearing your seatbelt. Never use your phone while in the car.

Use focus or do not disturb features to silence alerts or just put it in the glove compartment or backseat while driving.

Avoid multitasking while driving, like eating, drinking or anything else that takes your eyes off the road.

09/16/2026

When a bus has its red flashing lights on and the stop sign is out, traffic going both directions must stop.

Stop at least 10 feet away from the bus to be sure that all children are out of the street before you begin moving.
